1.2.21 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.
