Example
/* The first example assigns the decimal equivalent of the string value "B" to the variable identifier Num. The ANSI character code for 'B' has a decimal code value of 66. Therefore, Num would be assigned the value 66. */
Num = Seq("B")
/* In the following, more complex example, the decimal equivalent of each character of the character string "REVELATION" is concatenated, in RetVal. */
/* This example results in "82 101 118 101 108 97 116 105 111 110" */
RetVal = ""
name = "Revelation"
For i = 1 To Len(name)
RetVal = RetVal : Seq(name[ i, 1 ]) : " "
