PowerBuilder 10.5 adds support for the Byte datatype. The Byte datatype is the same as the Uint datatype except that it has a more restricted range: from 0 to 255. For interaction with Java components or Web services, the PowerScript Byte datatype maps directly to Byte datatypes in the Java and C# or .NET languages.
PowerBuilder 10.5 also adds the following functions for working with Byte datatypes:
Function |
Description |
|---|---|
Byte (stringorblob) |

GetByte (blobvariable, n, b) |

SetByte (blobvariable, n, b) |

For more information, see Byte, GetByte, and SetByte in the PowerScript Reference or the online Help.
