Thanks! That's just the ticket. Odd though that I can't find any reference to the ORD function in my 4gl manuals. -----Original Message----- From: Jonathan Leffler [mailto:jleffler@earthlink.net] Sent: Wednesday, April 21, 1999 3:32 AM To: informix-list@iiug.org Subject: Re: How to return the ASCII code of a letter?

Assuming a vaguely recent version of I4GL, the ORD(' ') function would return 32 for the space argument. It returns the ascii value of the first letter of its argument string -- or the value converted to an argument string. -- Jonathan Leffler (jleffler@informix.com, jleffler@earthlink.net) Guardian of DBD::Informix v0.60 -- see http://www.perl.com/CPAN #include <disclaimer.h>

There is an informix funcrion FGL_GETENV("a") will return 95 for example. Will that do the trick? Paul Wheeler Leaderflush+Shapland
