$FIXEDTOASCIIRESIDUE

If $FIXEDTOASCII converts maxdigits bytes but leading digits in qvalue are not

converted, and $OVERFLOW can be checked, $FIXEDTOASCII sets $OVERFLOW;

otherwise, it resets $OVERFLOW.

$FIXEDTOASCIIRESIDUE

$FIXEDTOASCIIRESIDUE converts the absolute value of a FIXED value to an ASCII

value and returns the value of the residue.

qvalue input

FIXED(*):value

is a quadrupleword integer value to convert to ASCII digits.

bufferaddr input

BADDR:value

is the byte address at which to write the ASCII digits.

maxdigits input

uINT:value

is the maximum number of ASCII digits to write at bufferaddr.

Example 15-34. $FIXEDTOASCII Routine

LITERAL buffer_len = 100;

FIXED val;

STRING .buffer[ 0:buffer_len - 1 ];

$FIXEDTOASCII(val, @buffer, buffer_len);
