The number of words depends on [F2 + 1] (data length).
The number of bytes depends on [F2 + 3] (character count).
32 bytes maximum (16 words)
Character processing LSB → MSB fixed
Format for [F1]
If "DEC with a negative sign" or "FLOAT" is selected for [F2] for
the conversion of a positive value, add a space code (20H) to
the leftmost position of the positive value. Otherwise, an error
will result.
A space code is not included in the number of digits.
Example:
For a string "123" to be converted, add a space to make it as
" 123".
Data length for [F0]
If "FLOAT" is selected for [F2], specify "0".
Data format for [F0]
If "HEX," "OCT," "BIN," or "FLOAT" is selected for [F2], specify
"0".
Number of digits for [F1]
A positive/negative sign and a decimal point are not included in
the number of digits.
Example:
For a string "-12.3" to be converted, the number of digits is three.
Decimal place for [F1]
Example:
For a string "12.34" to be converted, specify two decimal places.
