Chr Function

Returns the character whose ASCII value is passed.

Syntax

result = Chr( value )


Parameters

value

Integer,

The numeric value ("code point") of the character you want, in the range 0-127.



Notes

The Chr function returns the character whose value is specified.

The Chr function will return a single byte String when running on single byte systems and return a double byte string when running on double byte systems. If you need to get a single byte string regardless of whether the system software is single or double byte, use the ChrB function.
