OCT2HEX() returns
OCT2HEX() returns
- The 'number' can be
- 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.
- If the 'number' is not an integer, Calci considers the integer part, and displays the output.
- Calci displays an error message, if the 'number' is an invalid decimal number.
- 'places' argument can be omitted. Calci displays the hexadecimal output with minimum number of characters necessary.
- 'places' is used for padding the output with leading '0's'.
- Calci ignores the 'places', if the output is more than mentioned 'places'.
- Calci ignores the 'places', if the 'places' is non-numeric or negative.
- If 'places' is not an integer, Calci truncates the 'places' value.
- A number preceding with '0' (e.g. 0377) should be written in text format ("0377") to avoid confusion with hexadecimal numbers.
