$FLTB string function $FLTB string function Syntax $FLTB (value) Function Return a 4-byte string containing the binary representation of a real value in single-precision IEEE floating-point format. Parameter value Real-valued expression, the value of which is converted to its IEEE floating-point binary representation. Details A real value is converted to its binary representation using the IEEE single-precision standard floating-point format. This 32-bit value is packed as four successive 8-bit characters in a string. See the FLTB real-valued function for a more detailed description of IEEE floating- point format.
The main use of this function is to convert a real value to its binary representation in an output record of a data file. Example $FLTB(1.215) ;Returns a character string equivalent to: $CHR(^H3F)+$CHR(^H9B)+$CHR(^H85)+$CHR(^H1F) Related Keywords $CHR string function DBLB real-valued function $DBLB string function FLTB real-valued function $INTB string function LNGB real-valued function $LNGB string function $TRANSB string function eV+Language Reference Guide, v2.x, 18319-000 Rev A Page 243
