Explanation

ICONV is a DataStage BASIC function that converts string representations to internal storage format. For example, ICONV('2024-01-15','D') converts a date string to internal date integer. Option B correctly describes this conversion to internal format. Options A and C reverse the direction (OCONV does internal-to-string).
