DINT_TO_STRING_LEFT_ALIGNED

DOUBLE INTEGER into left-aligend STRING

It converts a value of the data type DINT into a value of the data type STRING in left-aligned decimal representation.

Parameters

Input

DINT: Input data type

Output

STRING: Conversion result

Explanation

Function used	String1 defined as	Result
String1:= DINT_TO_STRING_LEFT_ALIGNED(-12345678)	STRING[2]	'-1'
	STRING[4]	'-123'
	STRING[6]	'-12345'
	STRING[8]	'-1234567'
	STRING[10]	'-12345678'
	STRING[12]	'-12345678'
	and so on...

NOTE

When using the data type STRING with small PLCs like FP-e or FP0, make sure that the length of the result string is equal to or greater than the length of the source string.
