ISTRNG
ISTRNG converts a number from integer format to character format. The character string representing the integer is always left justified.
Use
Called By
Any user-written subroutine
Prerequisite
None
Calling Sequence
CALL ISTRNG (number, string, length, istat)
Input Argument
number | An integer variable that specifies the integer to be converted. |
Output Arguments
istat | An integer variable indicating the success or the reason for the failure of the call to ISTRNG.  |
length | An integer variable that returns the number of nonblank characters in the converted string. |
string | A character string that represents the number. Adams Solver left justifies the converted string (that is, it removes all leading blank spaces). |
Extended Definition
One purpose of ISTRNG is to provide the CONSUB driver subroutine with a character representation of an integer. This is necessary because the MODIFY execution control subroutine requires commands in the form of a character string that may include integers (for example, statement identifiers). The integer and the character string representing the integer appear identical when printed.
Tip: | If the dimension of the string is CHARACTER*12 or longer, the string can hold any integer defined on a 64-bit machine. |
