Remarks
Asc() is a character conversion function that returns the ASCII value of the leftmost character in a string.
Asc() is used primarily on expressions requiring numeric calculations on the ASCII value of a character. Chr() and Asc() are inverse functions.
Remarks
AscA() always uses the current Ansi codepage, and ignores the setting of SetAnsi()
