Bit-String to Character-String Conversion

Bit-string to character-string conversion converts a bit-string value to a character-string value of the same length as the bit string. Each bit of the bit string is converted to a 0 or 1 character in the resulting character string. A null bit string is converted to a null character string.

Source     Result
'0'B '0'
"B "
'1011'B '1011'

If the context that caused the conversion gives a target length, the character string is truncated to conform to a shorter target or is padded on the right with blanks to conform to a longer target.
