Hi there!
   I am new with this language and I have two questions.   I am trying
to intialize a character in icon language and i don't know how to do
it.  Could you please tell me how to intilize something as a character.
Second, I am checking if two things or same or not by using an 'if'
statement. and... my project reads one character and checks if it is '0'
(zero) or not.  As long as the character which is read in from the file
is an integer the program runs fine, but when it reads a non-integer
charcter from the file it gives me an error msg. of something like type
mismatch or something.   My first question relates to the same thing.  I
want to declare that the thing read from the file is a character and not
an integer and then I want to compare them.
Thanks.
Hassan.
