If I have:
DownChrSet : SET OF CHAR; LowerT = '\C2'; DownChrSet := [LowerT];
I get the above error. Isn't Char an ordinal type though? And \C2, being a hex, fits into one char, so shouldn't this be ok?
Remember the recent discussion about character escapes. To GPC (and any other compiler compatible to either Standard or Borland Pascal or both) '\C2' is not a char, it's a string consisting of the 3 characters '', 'C' and '2'.
To get what's '\xC2' in C, use one of the various forms GPC knows, e.g.:
Chr (16#C2) (EP) Chr ($C2) (BP) #$C2 (BP) "\xC2" (GPC extension -- in older versions you need {$char-escapes})
