Converts hexadecimal positive binary values to either integer
(fixed-point) or real (floating-point) binary values.
-
w
-
specifies the field width of the input value
and also specifies whether the final value is fixed-point or floating-point.
| Default: |
8 |
| Range: |
1-16 |
| Tip: |
If w<16,
HEXw. converts the input value to positive integer
binary values, treating all input values as positive (unsigned). If w is 16, HEXw. converts the input
value to real binary (floating-point) values, including negative values. |
Note: Different operating environments store floating-point
values in different ways. However, HEX16. reads hexadecimal representations
of floating-point values with consistent results if the values are expressed
in the same way that your operating environment stores them. ![[cautionend]](../../../../common/63294/HTML/default/images/cautend.gif)
The HEXw. informat ignores
leading or trailing blanks.
