Chapter
Call Routines 0–68 12
12 -61
Use this routine to convert a number or numeric variable into a string.
You must use the STRING statement (see page 11 -37) to allocate a
minimum of 14 characters for the string. If the exponent of the value you
want to convert is 100 or greater, you must allocate 15 characters.
Error checking traps string allocation of less than 14 characters only.
Input and Output Arguments
This routine has two input arguments and no output arguments. The first
input argument is the value you want to convert. The second input
argument is the number of the string to receive the value.
Syntax
