ASCII Package for Informix If your version of Informix is old enough not to support the CHR() and ASCII() functions as built-ins, you can use this code to provide the functions instead. You get: * ascii.sql - stored procedure to give ASCII code corresponding to a given character * ascii.unl - data for the ASCII table * asciitbl.sql - definition for the ASCII table * chr.sql - stored procedure to give the character (CHR) corresponding to a given number * mkascii.sql - SQLCMD script to load the above into a database Ideally, you should upgrade to a newer version of Informix.
