/sys$common/syshlp/helplib.hlb FORTRAN, Character Sets, ASCII  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

  The following table represents the ASCII character set (characters
  with decimal values 0 through 127).  Except for SP and HT, the
  characters with names are nonprintable.

  To determine the hexadecimal value of an ASCII character, combine
  the values in the column (0-7) and the row (0-F) that relate to the
  character.  For example, the value of the character representing
  the equal sign is 3D(hex).
