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:
