The Char command returns the character whose code is charCode.
- If the database operates in Unicode mode (default mode for databases created starting with 4D version 11), you must pass a UTF-16 value (included between 1 and 65535) in charCode.
- If the database operates in ASCII compatibility mode, you must pass an ASCII code (included between 0 and 255) in charCode.
For more information about the different modes for managing strings in 4D, please refer to the ASCII Codes section.
Tip: In editing a method, the command Char is commonly used to specify characters that cannot be entered from the keyboard or that would be interpreted as an editing command in the Method editor.
Important: In ASCII compatibility mode, all the text values, fields, or variables that you have not yet converted to another ASCII map are Mac OS-encoded on both Macintosh and Windows. For more information, see the section ASCII Codes.
The following example uses Char to insert a carriage return within the text of an alert message:
ALERT("Employees: "+String(Records in table([Employees]))+Char(Carriage return)+"Press OK to continue.")
