specifies the field width of the input value.
If you specify a w value of 1 through 15, the
input hexadecimal value is converted to a fixed-point number. If you specify
16 for the w value, the input hexadecimal value
is converted to a floating-point number.
Under OpenVMS,
the hexadecimal format of the number is stored in ASCII representation.

representation, see OpenVMS Programming Interfaces: Calling a System
