DASCII

NM and CM callable.

Converts a 32-bit binary number to a specified base and represents it as a numeric ASCII string.

     I16             I32V   I16V   CA

   numchar:=DASCII(binvalue,base,asciieqv);

numchar

16-bit signed integer (assigned functional return)

Returns the number of characters in the resulting string.

binvalue

32-bit signed integer by value (required)

Contains the binary number to be converted to an ASCII string.

base

16-bit signed integer by value (required)

Contains one of the following translation identifiers:

Value	Meaning
8	Convert to octal (pad with zeros)
10	Convert to decimal (left-justified)
-10	Convert to decimal (right-justified)
16	Convert to hexadecimal (pad with zeros)

If any other number is entered in this parameter, the intrinsic causes the process to abort.

asciieqv

character array (required)

Returns the converted value. Must be long enough to contain the result (<= 11 characters).

For octal conversions (base=8), 11 characters (including leading zeros) are returned; numchar returns the number of significant (right-justified) characters (excluding leading zeros). If binvalue=0, the length returned is 1.
For decimal conversions (base=10), binvalue is considered a 32-bit twos complement integer ranging from -2,147,483,648 to +2,147,483,647. If binvalue=0, only one zero character is returned in asciieqv; numchar returns the total number of characters (including the sign). For example, if binvalue=0, the length returned is 1.
For hexadecimal conversions (base=16), 8 characters (including leading zeros) are returned. The digits can be 0..9 and A..F. Numchar returns the number of significant (right-justified) characters (excluding leading zeros). For example, if binvalue=32, numchar is 2 and asciieqv will be 00000020.
