Error: identifier not found "asc"
« on: March 16, 2017, 03:51:33 am »
Hi, running lazarus 1.6.4 on ubuntu 16.04 installed from deb files.  Free Pascal Compiler version 3.0.2 [2017/02/25] for x86_64. I'm a beginner with lazarus and I'm trying to use asc('A') for example. Possibly it shouldn't be used this way anyway. I'm suspecting theres something missing from the uses section in the unit1.pas. many google, bing and duckduckgo searches have returned not very much. Here is the uses section from unit1.pas
uses
  Classes, SysUtils, FileUtil, Forms, Controls, Graphics, Dialogs, StdCtrls,
  Spin , Lazutils, strutils;

Any help or links for the right info would be appreciated.
