# Convert operand to character

```
 Action    name: OpChar
 
```

This command converts immediate operand(s) type of the current instruction/data to character.

When you use this command, IDA deletes the [manually](https://docs.hex-rays.com/8.4/user-guide/user-interface/menu-bar/edit/operand-types/user-defined-operand) entered operand.

If the cursor is on the first operand (the cursor is before ',') then the first operand will be affected; otherwise, all other operands will be affected.
