Purpose

Function to convert numeric to binary encoded string


Syntax

L2BIN(<expN>)


See Also

BIN2I(), BIN2L(), BIN2W(), BINCLOSE(), BINCREATE(), BINOPEN(), BINREAD(), BINSEEK(), BINWRITE(), CREATE BRIDGE, I2BIN()


Description

The L2BIN() function converts a numeric value into a binary encoded character string formatted as a signed 32-bit integer. The <expN> is any numeric value. Any decimal places are ignored. This function can be used to construct composite index keys of mixed data types in OpenVMS RMS files. With the exception of the BIN2W() function, all binary conversion functions may be used in conjunction with the binary file functions.


Example

? bin2l(l2bin(98765))
     98765
