character value

[Knox, Dave (Dallas, CSC)]

What's you're environment ?

The following works on HP3000 . It parses out the item "X" to MPE and uses the HP ord() function.
I would hope similar could be done on any platform.



def X char*1 = "A"		;or fieldname of choice...
def Y int*2  = ncon(getsystemval("XY")) &
               if setsystemval("XY","![ord('" + X + "')]")

rep X Y
go

  X   Y
  A   65

Subject: character value


Does anyone know of a way in quiz to get the ASCII value of a single character returned as a number?
I know how to get from a displayable character from an integer, I need to go the other way.

For instance if a variable contains the letter "A" I would like to be able to that converted to the number 65.
