[Function] Convert the decimal data in the column specified in operand 2 to a binary and
assign the result to the variable specified in operand 1.
Conversion will be performed for the length set by a SLEN command.
If a character-string literal is specified in operand 2, conversion will be performed
for the entire length of the literal.
(Note) Keep the converting length to 18 characters or less.
[Example] SCPY 10 ‘1234’ Set ‘1234’ in column 10.
SLEN 4 Set the converting length to 4 bytes.
VAL 1 10 Assign 1234, which is a binary converted from
‘1234’ in column 10, to variable 1.
LET 1 100 Assign 100 to variable 1.
LET 2 20 Assign 20 to variable 2.
SCPY 20 ‘1234’ Copy ‘1234’ to column 20.
SCPY 24 ‘.567’ Copy ‘.567’ to column 24.
SLEN 8 Set the converting length to 8 bytes.
VAL *1 *2 Assign 1234.567, which is a binary converted from
‘1234.567’ in the content of variable 2 (column 20)
to the content of variable 1 (variable 100).
