Converts an integer to a string using a defined number base.
Informal Syntax:
Formal Syntax:
FORMAT_INTEGER( Value:=expression, Base:=expression )
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Value | ANY_INT | The input value to convert to a string. |
| Base | ANY_INT | The number base to use in the conversion. Use any value in the range 2 to 16. Values less than 2 are rounded up to 2. Values more than 16 are rounded down to 16. |
The function FORMAT_INTEGER returns the Value parameter converted to a STRING. The conversion uses a number base defined by the Base parameter.
| Example | Return Value |
|---|---|
| FORMAT_INTEGER( 1000, 2 ) | STRING#'1111101000' |
| FORMAT_INTEGER( 1000, 5 ) | STRING#'13000' |
| FORMAT_INTEGER( 1000, 8 ) | STRING#'1750' |
| FORMAT_INTEGER( 1000, 10 ) | STRING#'1000' |
| FORMAT_INTEGER( 1000, 16 ) | STRING#'3E8' |
