| Functions and CALL Routines |
Returns one character in the ASCII or the EBCDIC collating sequence.
-
n
-
specifies an integer that represents a specific
ASCII or EBCDIC character.
In a DATA step, if the BYTE function returns a value to a variable that has
not previously been assigned a length, then that variable is assigned a length
of 1.
For EBCDIC collating sequences, n is between
0 and 255. For ASCII collating sequences, the characters that correspond to
values between 0 and 127 represent the standard character set. Other ASCII
characters that correspond to values between 128 and 255 are available on
certain ASCII operating environments, but the information those characters
represent varies with the operating environment.
