====== Seq function  ======


 
==== Description ====
 
Returns the numeric value of an ASCII character (0-255).
 
==== Syntax ====
 
//ASCII_value// = **Seq**(//expression//)
 
==== Parameters ====
 
The Seq function has the following parameters.

^Parameter^Description^
|//expression//|The first character of the value that is specified in //expression// is converted from its ANSI character code to its corresponding numeric value. Any constant, variable, or another intrinsic function may be specified by the expression.|

[[char|Char()]]
 
==== Example ====
 
<code>
/* The first example assigns the decimal equivalent of the string value "B" to the variable identifier Num. The ANSI character code for 'B' has a decimal code value of 66. Therefore, Num would be assigned the value 66. */

Num = Seq("B")

/* In the following, more complex example, the decimal equivalent of each character of the character string "REVELATION" is concatenated, in RetVal. */

/* This example results in "82 101 118 101 108 97 116 105 111 110"  */

RetVal = ""
name = "Revelation"
For i = 1 To Len(name)
       RetVal = RetVal : Seq(name[ i, 1 ]) : " "
