If the string contains no characters, a run-time error occurs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note Another function (AscB) is provided for use with byte data contained in a string. Instead of returning the character code for the first character, AscB returns the first byte. AscW is provided for 32-bit platforms that use Unicode characters. It returns the Unicode (wide) character code, thereby avoiding the conversion from Unicode to ANSI. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
