The following diagrams show how the ASCII text number is converted to float-
ing-point data. Different conversion methods are used for numbers stored with
decimal notation and scientific notation.
ASCII Character Storage
S
FVAL(449) converts the ASCII characters
starting with the leftmost byte of S and
continuing until a byte containing 00 hex is
reached. There must be a byte containing
00 hex within the first 25 bytes.
