Congrats! One suggestion:

Consider using _"9" instead of asc("9") ( see 'ASC' page in FBHelp ) for speed.

For proof consider:

dim as SInt32 x

x = asc("9")
generates:   x = PSasc( PSstrcpy( STACK_PUSH, "\p9" ) ); // 2 function calls and a lot of code 

while
x = _"9"
generates: x = (unsigned char)'9';
