FNC117 – EVAL / Character String to Floating Point Conversion
Outline
This instruction converts a character string (ASCII codes) into binary floating point data.
On the other hand, VAL (FNC201) instruction converts a character string (ASCII codes) into binary data.
→
For a character string, refer to Section 5.3.
→
For handling of floating point, refer to Subsection 5.1.3.
→
For VAL (FNC201) instruction, refer to Subsection 2.6.2.

Explanation of function and operation
1. 32-bit operation (EVAL and EVALP)
A character string stored in
and later is converted into binary floating point, and stored to [
+1,
].
A specified character string may be in the decimal point format or exponent format. A character string in
either format can be converted into binary floating point data.
