 ASCPOS()
 Determines the ASCII value of a character at a particular position within a
 string
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Syntax
     ASCPOS(<cString>,[<nPosition>]) --> nAsciiValue
 Arguments
     <cString>  Designates the character string that is searched.
     <nPosition>  Designates the character of <cString> for which the
     ASCII value is determined.  The default character is the last character.
 Returns
     The function returns the ASCII value for the character at <nPosition>
     within <cString>.
 Description
     ASCPOS() allows you to determine the ASCII value of a selected key
     within a character string.
 Notes
     .  The returned value can be between 0 and 255.
     .  If <cString> is a null string, or <nPosition> is larger than
        the length of the string, ASCPOS() returns 0.
     .  If <nPosition> is 0, the ASCII value for the last character is
        returned.
 Examples
     .  You can specify:
        ? ASCPOS(String, 5)
     .  Or you can specify:
        ? ASC (SUBSTR(String, 5, 1))
