NM and CM callable. Converts a numeric (octal or decimal) ASCII string to a 16-bit twos
complement binary value. Syntax | |
I16 CA I16V
bineqv:=BINARY(asciieqv,length);
|
Functional Return | |
- bineqv
16-bit signed integer (assigned functional return) Passes the twos complement binary equivalent of the numeric string.
Parameters | |
- asciieqv
character array (required) Passes the octal or signed-decimal number (in ASCII characters)
to be converted. If the character string begins
with a percent sign (%), it is treated as an octal value.
If the character string begins with a dollar sign ($), it is
treated as a hexadecimal value. In this case, the string must be
less than 6 characters and only 0 through 9, a through f, and A through F
are allowed. If the character string begins with
a plus sign, a minus sign, or a number, it is treated as a decimal
value. Leading blanks are not allowed and are treated as illegal
characters.
- length
16-bit signed integer by value (required) Passes the length (number of bytes) of the ASCII-coded value.
If the value of length is 0, the intrinsic returns 0
to the calling process. When the value of length is
negative, the intrinsic causes the process to abort.
Condition Codes | |
- CCE (2)
Request granted. A 16-bit binary value is returned to the process. - CCG (0)
Request denied. A word overflow, possibly resulting from too
many
characters (asciieqv number too large), occurred in the value
returned. - CCL (1)
Request denied. An illegal character was encountered
in asciieqv. For example, the digits 8 or 9 were specified in
an octal value.
