DBINARY

32-bit signed integer (assigned functional return)

Returns the converted 32-bit binary value.

character array (required)

Passes the octal or signed decimal number (in ASCII characters) to be converted. If the character string begins with a percent sign (%), it is treated as an octal value. If the character string begins with a dollar sign ($), it is treated as a hexadecimal value. In this case, the string must be less than 6 characters and only 0 through 9, a through f, and A through F are allowed. The maximum hex strings are $ffff and $7fff. If the string begins with a plus sign, minus sign, or a number, it is treated as a decimal value. Leading blanks are not allowed and are treated as illegal characters.

16-bit signed integer by value (required)

Returns the length (number of bytes) of the ASCII-coded value:

Request granted. A 32-bit binary value is returned to the process.

Request denied. A word overflow, possibly resulting from too many characters (dasciieqv number too large), occurred in the value (dbineqv) returned.

Request denied. An illegal character was encountered in dasciieqv. For example, the digits 8 or 9 were specified in an octal value.
