Additional Information
The STRTOCHAR function is useful when passing string literals to functions. Since InstallScript interprets double and single quotes as string delimiters, attempting to pass a literal character, for example, 'a', to a function that expects a character will cause a compiler error. To avoid this problem, pass the character literal to STRTOCHAR and pass the result of calling this function as the argument; for example:
Sprintf( szString, "%c", STRTOCHAR('a') );
