The ASCII function converts all the characters in the expression from the EBCDIC character set to the ASCII character set.
Command Syntax
ASCII (expression)
Syntax Element
The expression may return a data string of any form. The function will then assume that the characters are all members of the EBCDIC character set and translate them using a character map. The original expression is unchanged while the returned result of the function is now the ASCII equivalent.
Example
READT EbcdicBlock ELSE CRT "Tape failed!"; STOP
AsciiBlock = ASCII (EbcdicBlock) ;* convert to ASCII
