CALL 63: Converting from String Format to Numeric Format

CALL 63 converts a string to the numeric format:

PUSH [A]
CALL 63
POP [B]
POP [C]

Where:
A = string number to be converted containing a decimal number [0..255]
B = status (0 = no valid number found , not 0 = valid decimal number found on A)
C = string A converted to numeric value

Example:

Ready
>list
10 STRING 100, 20
20 INPUT "Input a string to convert: ", $ ( 1)
30 PUSH 1: CALL 63: POP V, N
40 IF ( V <> 0) THEN PRINT $ ( 1), " ", N: GOTO 60 ""
50 PRINT "Invalid or no value found"
