<p>
The <CODE>ICHAR</CODE> function accepts a string as argument.
The string cannot be a complete array string variable, but it can be an element of an
array string variable. It returns a numeric vector whose elements are the equivalent
ASCII decimal codes for the characters. If the string is only one character, the resultant
vector will be of length one. The inverse of this function is the <CODE>
<a href="char.htm">CHAR</a></CODE> function.</p>
