Type conversion to STRING (AXSTRING)

Function
Using the function "type conversion to STRING" variables of different types can be used as a
component of a message (MSG).
When using the << operator this is realized implicitly for data types INT, REAL, CHAR and
BOOL (see "Concatenation of strings (<<) (Page 77)").
An INT value is converted to normal readable format. REAL values convert with up to
10 decimal places.
Type AXIS variables can be converted to STRING using the
Syntax
<STRING_ERG> = << <any_type>
<STRING_ERG> = AXSTRING(<axis identifier>)
Significance
<STRING_ERG>
<any_type>
AXSTRING
<axis identifier>
Note
FRAME variables cannot be converted.
Examples
Example 1:
MSG("Position:"<<$AA_IM[X])
Example 2: AXSTRING
Program code
DEF STRING[32] STRING_ERG
STRING_ERG=AXSTRING(X)
