VTN. Command
Variable To Numeric (Dezimal)
Intention
Convert a numeric value into the Decimal number-System, optional you can specify the length of the output string.
This very simple example
$$NUM=&B10011111111111110001
VTN.$$NUM
DBP.$$NUM
Will give the result: "655345"
In this example we say that we want the output to be formatted to 15 digits.
$$NUM=&H09FFF1
VTN.$$NUM||15
DBP.$$NUM
ENR.
Therefore the result is "000000000655345"
In both cases, we did not specify P2 (Target variable, therefore the result was placed in the source variable.
For details on how to prefix Hexadecimal, Octal or Binary numbers, see
3.5 Hexadezimal, Decimal and Binary and more
Syntax
VTN.P1[|P2][|P3]
Parameter Explanation
P1 - Variable containing any NUM
P2 - (optional) Variable for the result, if omitted result is been stored in Source variable.
P3 - (optional) optional, value that is used as a fix length of the output string.
Empty places are filled with "0"'s.
If you specify less digits then needed, the number will be clipped from the right side,
Example:
$$NUM=655345
VTN.$$NUM|$$TAR|2
will give you "45" as result (instead of 655345)

Remarks
Please always use the proper prefix for non-decimal numbers.
