2.21 ASCII CONVERSION Instruction (ASCII)
[Outline]
The ASCII instruction converts the specified characters (character string in Source) to the
corresponding ASCII character codes and stores them in the designated Dest. It recognizes uppercase
and lowercase characters separately.
The first character is stored in the lower-place byte of the first word and the second character is stored
in the higher-place byte of the first word. Other characters are stored in the same way. If the number
of characters is odd, the higher-place byte of the last word in the storage register is set to 0. Up to 32
characters can be entered.

[Program Example]
The character string "ABCD" is stored in MW00100 to MW00101.
MW00100
MW00101
Upper Lower
MW00100 = 4241H
MW00101 = 4443H
42H ('B')
44H ('D')
41H ('A')
43H ('C')
The character string "ABCDEFG" is stored in MW00100 to MW00103.
