Function
These instructions interpret the content of a text string, In, as a hexadecimal number and convert it to a
bit string.
Basically, the text string in In must consist only of '0' to '9', 'a' to 'f', and 'A' to 'F'. The following excep-
tion is possible.
• Any continuous blank characters or zeros at the beginning of In are ignored.
• Any single underbars ('_') at any location are ignored.
• An error occurs if there are two or more consecutive underbars ('_') at any location.
• An error occurs if there are any underbars ('_') at the beginning or end.
• An error occurs if there are any underbars ('_') between the minus signs ('−') or plus sign ('+') and the
number at the beginning.
The name of the instruction is determined by the data type of conversion result Out. For example, if Out
is the BYTE data type, the instruction is STRING_TO_BYTE.
