7 APPLICATION INSTRUCTION
7.7 Real Number Instruction
Converting character string to single-precision real number
EVAL(P)/DEVAL(P)
These instructions convert the character strings in the device areas specified by (s) and later to single-precision real number,
and store the converted data in the device specified by (d).
The EVAL(P) instructions can also be used as DEVAL(P).

Processing details
• These instructions convert the character strings in the device areas specified by (s) and later to single-precision real
number, and store the converted data in the device specified by (d).
• A specified character string may be in the decimal point format or exponent format. A character string in either format can
be converted into single-precision real number.
• A character string can consist of up to 24 characters. 20H (space) and 30H (0) in a character string are counted as one
character each.
■
Decimal point format
• When the character string specified by (s) is decimal point format, the operation is executed as follows.
