cvs
Description
Converts a numeric value to a string containing the value's human readable decimal representation.
Usage
ValNum DummyStr cvs DecStr
ValNum Integer or fixed-point. Numeric value to convert into a string.
DummyStr String. Required for historical compatibility. The interpreter does not use this
parameter.
DecStr String. String created by the interpreter which contains the human readable
decimal representation of ValNum.
Comments
The interpreter converts ValNum to its human readable decimal representation. If then creates
DecStr containing the result.
For positive values, DecStr will not contain a leading plus (+) sign. DecStr will contain a leading
negative (-) sign for negative DecStr values. DecStr will not include any leading zeroes or
commas. For fixed-point values, DecStr will contain a decimal point (.) with at least one digit both
before and after the decimal point.
