MKD$, MKI$, MKS$
Function
MKI$(integer expression)
MKS$(single-prec;sion expression)
MKD$(double-precision expression)
Convert numeric values to string values.
Any numeric value that
is placed in a direct file buffer with an LSET or
RSET statement must be converted to a string.
These three functions are the inverse of CVD, CVI, and CVS. The
byte values which make
up the number are not changed; only one
byte, the internal data-type specifier,
is changed, so that numeric data
can be placed in a string variable.
MKD$ returns
an eight-byte string; MKI$ returns a two-byte string;
and MKS$ returns a four-byte string.
Example
LSET AVG$ = MKS$(0.123)
