SEQS

The SEQS function converts a dynamic array of ASCII characters to their numeric string equivalents.

COMMAND SYNTAX

SEQS(dynamic.array)

dynamic.array specifies the ASCII characters to be converted. If dynamic.array evaluates to null, it returns null. If any element of dynamic.array is null, it returns null for that element. If you use the subroutine syntax, the resulting dynamic array is returned as return.array.

By using the SEQS function to convert a character outside its range results in a run-time message, and the return of an empty string.

EXAMPLE

G="T":@VM:"G"

A=SEQS (G)

PRINT A

PRINT SEQS("G")

The output of this program is: 84]71 71

INTERNATIONAL MODE

The SEQ function will return numeric values beyond 255 for UTF-8 byte sequences representing any

Unicode values above 0x000000ff.
