iOS Question Return type CHAR

[Starchild]

I am just starting to use the B4i development suite.
Tried converting some code from B4A.

I ALWAYS get a compiler error when using a return type of CHAR.
Sometimes the error talks about UniCharValue type not in NSnumber ...

So. I started a new empty project.
It compiles fine.

Then I add

Sub ABC as CHAR
end sub


It does NOT compile.
The actual error report is in the attached file CompileError.txt

Is CHAR type not supported in B4i?
I can pass a parameter of CHAR type without error.

Can someone please advise.
I am using B4i v2.51

I don't know why it doesn't work, but you can set the return type to a string and pass a char:

Sub LetterA As String
    Return Chr(65)
End Sub

Thanks. I understand how the STRING type can be used as an alternative to CHAR.

In order to preserve code compatibility between B4A and B4i, I am interested why the CHAR type is not being supported in B4i as a Sub Return type.

It is a bug. It is fixed for the next version.
