■Usable data
: Usable
■Description, data type of result
 • The data specified with (S) is converted into an unsigned 16-bit integer value.
 • The data range of (S) is 0 to 65535.
 • When (S) is a 64-bit floating-point type, its fractional portion is rounded down before conversion is made.
 • If (S) is a 16-bit integer type, its value is returned unchanged, with no conversion processing performed.
An operation error will occur if:
 • The (S) data is outside the range 0 to 65535.
 • (S) is an indirectly specified device and its device No. is outside the range.
■Program which converts the data of D0L into an unsigned 16-bit integer value and substitutes 
the result to #0
