OCTAL2ASCII Routine

OCTAL2ASCII converts data presented in octal format to its ASCII equivalent. This routine is the inverse of the ASCII2OCTAL routine.

Usage

CALL "OCTAL2ASCII"
   USING ASCII-VALUE, OCTAL-VALUE

Parameters

ASCII-VALUE PIC X(2)

Output data area to contain the ASCII representation of a unit of data

OCTAL-VALUE PIC X(8)

Input data area containing the octal value

Note: When you are defining the parameters, use the exact field sizes specified in the calling conventions above, otherwise the runtime may terminate abnormally.

Note: Any characters that are not valid octal digits are treated as the digit "0". Trailing spaces are removed from the input value.
