DEC2BIN

The DEC2BIN function converts a decimal number to the corresponding binary
number.

DEC2BIN(decimal-string, convert-length)

Â

decimal-string: The string representing the number to be converted. decimal-string
is a string value. It must contain only the numbers 0 through 9.

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.
