====== ASC(stringValue) ======

Return ASCII code of the first character in the given ''String''.

<code xbasic>
Dim ST1 AS String * 12
Dim i AS Integer
ST1 = "123"
i = Asc(ST1)             ' &H31 is stored in variable I.  ASCII code of 1 is &H31 or 0x31.
</code>

Caution:
A variable must be used when using string functions.

<code xbasic>
Debug Left("INTEGER",4)  ' A String constant cannot be used.
ST1 = "INTEGER"
Debug Left(ST1,4)        ' The String must be stored as a variable first.
