Converts the numeric value of an expression to its corresponding ASCII character string value.
value = Char(expression)
The Char function has the following parameters.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Expression | Char requires that the value of expression be an integer within the range 0 to 255. |
Char will be compiled as a special load instruction, if the Char expression is an integer constant. This instruction generates less object code, and is executed much faster. In the following example, Char assigns a field mark to the field_mark variable.
field_mark = Char(254)
/* In the following example, //percent// is assigned the ASCII string value of the % symbol (decimal 37). */ percent = Char(37) /* The following example shows two ways to specify a carriage return/line feed */ CRLF = Char(13): Char(10) ;* decimal CRLF = \0D0A\ ;* hex
