BYTE (n)

Arguments

n

specifies an integer that represents a specific ASCII or EBCDIC character.

Range:

0-255

Details

For EBCDIC collating sequences, n is between 0 and 255. For ASCII collating sequences, the characters that correspond to values between 0 and 127 represent the standard character set. Other ASCII characters that correspond to values between 128 and 255 are available on certain ASCII operating environments, but the information those characters represent varies from host environment.
