Chapter 19 ASCII Conversion Instructions (STOD, STOR, DTOS, RTOS, UPPER, LOWER)
Execution:
Example: When temp_high is set, the DTOS instruction converts the value in msg_num to
a string of ASCII characters and places the result in msg_num_ascii. Subsequent
rungs insert or concatenate msg_num_ascii with other strings to produce a
complete message for a display terminal.
