View source for $Ascii

<p>
The <var>$Ascii</var> function converts an input string, assumed to be EBCDIC, into ASCII, thus performing the reverse process of the <var>[[$Ebcdic]]</var> function. For example:</p>
<p class="code">%x = $ascii(%x)
</p>
<p>
The translation table can be modified when necessary at customer sites. The source code is delivered in the FUNU module.</p>
<p>
Not all strings are for display. Question marks are usually the results of trying to print ASCII characters on an EBCDIC machine. </p>
