Hi All,

I have a problem where ord() of a character (single string index) 
returns the wrong value. the character is a 'o' which is a 111 value but 
the ord of it returns 121 into an integer. What am I doing wrong?

I can reproduce this error in my main application, but when I try to 
reproduce it in a smaller test application the error cannot be 
reproduced. I can find the error with breakpoints.

ch : integer;
Txt : string;
// Txt is passed as a parameter
i is a loop index

     ch := ord(Txt[i]);

     // i=7
     // Txt[i]=111 'o'
     // ch=121
