When
you want
to
add

the
end of
a
file,

MKD$,
MKI$,
and
MKS$
Convert Data, Numeric-to-String
These
functions
change a
number
to
a "string."
Actually
the
byte values
which
make
up
the
number
are
not
changed; only one byte, the internal
data-type
specifier,
is
changed,
so that
numeric
data
can be placed
in
a string variable.
That
is:
mkd$
returns
an eight-byte
string.
mki$
returns a
two-byte
string.
mks$ returns a
four-byte string.
Examples
LSET TALLY*=MKI*(IZ)
Field
name
tally$ would
now
contain
a
two-byte
representation of the
integer
i%.
A*=MKIt(8/I)
