% CPSC-FUNCTION-CHR(7)

# NAME

cpsc-function-chr - convert a byte code to text

# SYNOPSIS

```text
CHR(code : INTEGER) RETURNS CHAR
```

# DESCRIPTION

Provided by the standard string library, loaded and linked by default.

Convert the low eight bits of code to a CHAR. The result is CHAR, not STRING; a CHAR converts implicitly to STRING where a STRING is expected. Use ASCII codes 1 to 127 for ordinary text; code 0 produces one NUL byte, so LENGTH(CHR(0)) is 1.

# EXAMPLE

```text
OUTPUT CHR(65)
```
