IUNSIGNED Function

Purpose

Returns an unsigned FIXED BINARY value without changing the bit pattern.

Syntax

IUNSIGNED(x)

Parameters

x is an expression that has a computational type.

Description

IUNSIGNED converts the expression x into an unsigned FIXED BINARY value without changing the bit pattern. If x is unsigned, the precision of the returned value is the same as that of x. If it is signed, the precision of the returned value is the same as that of x unless the precision of x is 7, 15, 31 or 63. In that case the precision of the returned signed FIXED BINARY is equal to that of x plus 1.

Examples

IUNSIGNED ('FFFF_FFFF'xn) returns maximum UNSIGNED FIXED BIN(32) value.

Restrictions

None.
