Designates a single byte as part of a chunk expression.
Examples:
get byte 1 of tString
put byte 12 to 14 of it into tAnswer
get the first byte to tString
repeat for each byte tByte in tString put numToByte(byteToNum(tByte) + 1) after newString end repeat
Use the byte keyword to refer to a specific byte or bytes in a container.
A byte is an 8-bit unit and can only be reliably used with binary data. In UTF-8 text each char is a byte.
The hierarchy of the new and altered chunk types is as follows:
byte w of codeunit x of codepoint y of char z of word ...
