18 Floating Point – FNC110 to FNC139
18.4 FNC116 – ESTR / Floating Point to Character String Conversion
2. In the case of decimal point format
• The total number of digits which can be specified by +1 is as follows (24 digits maximum):
When the number of digits of the decimal part is "0", Total number of digits ≥ 2
When the number of digits of the decimal part is any value other than "0", Total number of digits ≥ (Number of digits
of decimal part + 3)
• The number of digits of the decimal part which can be specified by +2 is from 0 to 7.
However, the following must be satisfied, "Number of digits of decimal part ≤ (Total number of digits - 3)"
For example, when the total number of digits is "8", the number of digits of the decimal part is "3", and
"-1.23456" is specified, data is stored in and later as shown below:
• The character string data after conversion is stored in the devices and later as shown below:
- For the sign, "20H (space)" is stored when the binary floating point data is positive, and "2DH (-)" is stored when
the data is negative.
- If the decimal part of the binary floating point data cannot be accommodated in the number of digits of the
decimal part, low-order digits of the decimal part are rounded.
