NUM
The NUM function returns the ASCII code that corresponds to the first
character of a string. This is an integer in the range [0, 255].
Syntax
NUM(
S
$)
Parameters
S
$ A string expression whose first character will be
evaluated.
Examples
10 A = NUM("Angle") !A = 65

The NUMBREAK function is a Report Writer function that returns the number
of BREAK conditions satisfied for levels one through the given level.
Lower numbered breaks are counted because they automatically trigger a
break at the given level. If there is no active report, an error occurs.
