Richard,
That was my question. I wasn't sure what to use. 'a' is presently an UInt,
although when I read it through StrPrintF and then through a UpdateField
function it counts from 0 to 127 and then goes from -127 back up to 0. How
can this be when I have specified a Uint variable, and I'm making sure the
char coming in is in (UInt) form?
Here's the actual code:
tele_input.battery_charge=(65536*(Int)packet[1])+(256*(Int)packet[2])+(Int)p
acket[3];
where 'tele_input.battery_charge' is defined as a UInt, and it running
through a '%d' in a StrPrintF to convert it back to characters for the
display. 'packet' is a character string.
What do you make of it?

The types for "a" and "b" would help. Better yet,
post a code fragment or two with structures, variable
declarations & the lines of code you're having
problems with.
