ASCII Conversion Instructions (STOD, STOR, DTOS, RTOS, UPPER, LOWER)
The STOR instruction converts the ASCII representation of a floating-point
value to a REAL value.

Structured Text

The operands are the same as those for the relay ladder STOR instruction.
The STOR converts the Source to a REAL value and places the result in the
Destination.
· The instruction converts positive and negative numbers.
· If the Source string contains non-numeric characters, the STOR converts
the first set of contiguous numbers, including the decimal point [ . ]:
– The instruction skips any initial control or non-numeric characters
(except the minus sign in front of a number).
– If the string contains multiple groups of numbers that are separated by
delimiters (for example, / ), the instruction converts only the first group
of numbers.
Arithmetic status flags are affected.

Recovery Method
1. Check that no instruction is writing to the LEN member of
the string tag.
2. In the LEN value, enter the number of characters that the
string contains.
Either:
·Reduce the size of the ASCII value.
·Use a larger data type for the destination.
Notes
String data types are:
·Default STRING data type
·Any new string data type that you create
