char - byte or byte - char

Is there a way to convert between char and byte or visa versa?

Thanks

Look in your manuals for Chr- (byte->char) and Ord-
(char->longint) functions.

if you can convert to integer you can typecast as byte. I had to do
this to strings and it works well

There is no convertion needed. What you may need is type casting Char(AByte)
or Chr(AByte) and Byte(AChar) or Ord(ACHar).

The byte is the ASCII code which is Ord(ch), ch being a char variable.
To make the char from the byte use Chr(n), where n is a byte variable.
