char() function

The char() function converts a number between 0 and 255 to its corresponding ASCII character equivalent.

Syntax

char(num.exp)


`num.exp`	Number between 0 and 255 to be converted to the corresponding ASCII character equivalent. Numbers over 255 are adjusted into the range 0 to 255 by taking the number modulo 256.

Note: The arguments in the char() function must be numeric otherwise the [b16] run-time warning message displays.

This causes the terminal to beep once.

crt char(7)

This concatenates an escape with a k and assigns it to string.

string = char(27):"k"

This creates a constant at compile time to reference attribute marks.

equ am to char(254)

ASCII code to its character

print char(65)   ;* A

Lowercase letter from its code

print char(97)   ;* a

Build a multivalued field with the value mark, char(253)

rec = "x" : char(253) : "y" : char(253) : "z"
print "values: " : dcount(rec, char(253))   ;* values: 3
