The BIN2OCT function converts a binary number to the corresponding octal number.
BIN2OCT(binary-string, convert-length)
Â
binary-string: The string representing the number to be converted. binary-string is
a string value. It must contain only 0s and 1s.
Â
convert-length: An optional value specifying minimum length of the number
returned. convert-length is a number value and must be in the range 1 to 32. If
omitted, it is assumed to be 1. If included, convert-string is padded with leading
zeros, if necessary, so that it is at least the length specified by convert-length.
