DEC ()
DEC (value, position, parameter)
Convert into Decimal string
Value is a Byte/Integer/Long constant/variable.
Position is the maximum length of position. (Up to 10. Default is 5. Constant only)
Parameter is a constant (0 or 1 only) indicating to display “0” in front of a converted string or not. (0=shown, 1=not shown.
Default is 1.)
EXPLANATION
This instruction converts constants/variables into decimal string. PB series can use this instruction only for in PRINT instruction.
PBM series can store the result of DEC() instruction in a String variable.
EXAMPLE
The following table shows the result of instructions including DEC when variable A has 12345. (b is space)
Instruction
Result
PRINT DEC(A)
12345
PRINT DEC(A,10)
bbbbb12345
PRINT DEC(A,10,0)
0000012345
PRINT DEC(A,3)
345
PBM series can store the result of DEC() instruction in a String variable as follow.
DIM ST AS STRING * 16
DIM I AS INTEGER
I = 1234
ST = DEC(I) + “5678”
COMFILE Technology
‘Declare 16 the maximum length of string
‘Conjunct strings
‘The result, 12345678, is stored at ST
