For the record, that's not just a workaround, but the right thing to do 
according to the standard.  CHAR(255) produces the character with a 
sequence number of 255, which is what you want.  ACHAR(A) nominally 
produces the character that corresponds to the ASCII value in that 
position, but even worse, the result is processor-defined for argument 
values outside [0,127].  :)
