there is no universal sample code as kixtart does not produce the vartype on it's own.



Can you identify an object which has properties of this type? Then we could check what KiXtart reports them as.

As far as the byte/char thing goes, these are conventionally exactly the same data type, and are interchangable in many languages so I wouldn't get too hung up on KiXtart reporting chars as bytes. A similar thing applies to i/o buffers which will be byte arrays rather than strings.
