Note
Instead of a conversion, string
templates or the statement WRITE ... TO can often be used with their formatting options to assign numeric values to text fields and text strings.
Example
Conversion of the integer 100 to different target types. The type-friendly formatted output is 1E+02, 0000000100, 64, 000140.
DATA num TYPE i VALUE 100.
TYPES n10 TYPE n LENGTH 10.
