J Overview
The ASCII command converts the character string specified during command execution into
ASCII code and stores it in the specified register (integer register). Upper and lower case
letters can be distinguished from each other.
The first character and the second character are stored respectively in the lower byte and upper
byte of the first word in order. If the number of characters in the string is odd, the upper byte
of the last word in the storage destination register becomes 0. The number of input characters
is up to 32.
The following−version programming software is required to use an ASCII command.
