Returns the character represented by a value interpreted as a locale-sensitive character code.

Syntax

Chr[$] ( numExpr )

Elements

numExpr

A numeric expression of data type Long in the range 0-255. If LotusScript is running on a native ASCII platform, the value is interpreted as a character code in the platform-native character set. If LotusScript is running on an EBCDIC platform, the value is interpreted as the character code for the ASCII equivalent in the platform's current locale. In either case, only single-byte ASCII values are valid.

Chr returns the character corresponding to the value of numExpr.

Chr returns the ANSI platform-specific character corresponding to the value of numExpr.

Chr returns a Variant of DataType 8 (String). Chr$ returns a String.

Usage

If the value of numExpr contains a fraction, LotusScript rounds the value before using it.

The following table lists the ASCII characters. The head of each column is the value of the first character in the column in decimal.
