seq() function
.mdThe seq() function converts any ASCII character to its corresponding numeric equivalent in the range 0 through 255.
␣Look up any code 0–255 in the Character Codes chart: the character, hex, binary, and the D3 marks (AM, VM, SVM).→Syntax
seq(ascii.character.exp)Parameter(s)
| ascii.character.exp | Specifies the ASCII character to convert to its corresponding numeric equivalent in the range 0 through 255. |
Description
This seq() function is the opposite of the char() function.
Any expression can be used as an argument, but all characters are ignored beyond position 1.
The seq of a null string ends up using the segment mark (x’ff’) end-of-string delimiter as the argument resulting in a value of 255.
Example(s)
Character to its ASCII code
print seq("A") ;* 65
