4 51 The LEN value of the string tag is greater than the DATA size
of the string tag.
4 52 The output string is larger than the destination.
ASCII Conversion Instructions (STOD, STOR, DTOS, RTOS, UPPER, LOWER)

Enter
Tag that contains the REAL
value
Tag to store the ASCII value
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.
Create a new string data type that is large enough for the
output string. Use the new string data type as the data type
for the destination.
Notes
String data types are:
·Default STRING data type
·Any new string data type that you create
