# ascii() function

The ascii() function converts a string
of EBCDIC-encoded characters into their equivalent ASCII values.

## Syntax

```
ascii(exp)
```

## Parameter(s)

| exp | String of EBCDIC-encoded characters to convert. |
| --- | --- |

## Description

The ascii() function is the inverse of the ebcdic() function.

Note: The ascii() function cannot determine whether
the string being passed to it is already ASCII or not. Passing an
ASCII string through the ascii() function produces
undefined results.
