f Scales the input value num.expr by moving the decimal point f places to the
right. If omitted, f defaults to the value assigned to n (for example, if you
specify MD2, UniData reads it as MD22, and then ignores the first 2).
dec_symbl You can specify a symbol to represent the decimal point in the input number
by including dec_symbl. An example is provided in the following section.
[prefix],
[thsnd_mark],
[suffix]] ] [,]
[$] [-| < | E |
C | D] [P] [Z]
[T] [(xc)]
INTERNAL.VAL = ICONV("12.339","MD2")
The following example demonstrates how to specify that an alternate symbol is used
to represent the decimal point in the input number. This example prints 12350.
PRINT ICONV("123@499","MD2[,,@]")
