aScan ?? - xharbour

Please try for c:={ "1", "2", "3", "4", "5" } in place of c:="12345"

In C character strings are seen as vectors of characters, but in xHarbour
strings aren't arrays,

No, aScan() always returns 0, if the 1st argument is NOT a Clipper ARRAY
type.

To process string's character you may use:

FOR EACH cChar IN cString
...
NEXT

Ascan, as the name already tells, scans an array.
To process a character string you should use

? At( "3" , c )
