If the BYTE function
returns a value to a variable that has not yet been assigned a length,
by default the variable is assigned a length of 1.
Because Windows is an
ASCII system, the BYTE function returns the
nth character in the ASCII collating sequence. The value of
n can range from 0 to 255.
Any programs using the
BYTE function with characters above ASCII 127 (the hexadecimal notation
is
'7F'x) can return a different value when
used on a PC from another country as characters above ASCII 127 are
national characters and they vary from country to country.
