numeric values 0-9999999999

Variable or digits buffer contents

  • #, 0-4295967295

  • Leading zeros ignored (007 = 7)

  • none, #, 0-9999999999999999

  • Leading zeros allowed (007 = 007)

Variable or digits buffer evaluation

  • Valid numeric results are 0-4295967295

  • Greater than 4295967295 = #

  • Less than 0 = #

  • Leading zeros ignored (007 = 7)

  • none = 0

  • # = #

  • Greater than 4295967295 = #

  • Leading zeros ignored (007 = 7)

Start and length parameters

  • Results greater than the length definition = #.

  • Digits buffer length definition is always 16.

  • The start definition is ignored.
