CH_ASC2( <cString>, [ <nPosition> ] )


Parameters

<cString>
String to examine.

<nPosition>
Starting position in the string.


Returns

Two-byte unsigned integer starting at specified string position

Description

If position is omitted, the first byte (1) is assumed.

The integer is assumed to be stored in standard low-high format. To 
convert an unsigned to a signed integer, use the following UDF:

FUNCTION SignedInt( nUnsigned )
   RETURN IIF(nUnsigned < 215, nUnsigned, ;
              215 - nUnsigned)

For instance,
? SignedInt(CH_ASC2(cString, 4))


Example

// Display unsigned integer
// contained in bytes 4-5 of cString
? CH_ASC2(cString, 4)
