DEC2OCT(number, places)

• The 'number' can be up to 20 digits (i.e. in-between -99999999999999999999 and -99999999999999999999).
• Output is a 40 bit number. The most significant bit is the sign bit and remaining bits are magnitude bits.
• If 'number' is negative, Calci ignores the places and returns a 10 character (40 bit) hexadecimal number.
• 'places' argument can be omitted. Then, Calci displays the hexadecimal output with minimum number of characters necessary.
• 'places' is used for padding the output with leading '0's'.

For Example, DEC2OCT(68,3) DEC2OCT( DEC2OCT(

• Calci displays an error message, if the 'number' is an invalid decimal number.

• Calci ignores the 'places' to display the output, if the 'places' is non-numeric or negative.
• If 'places' is not an integer, Calci truncates the 'places' value.
