Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

   ◄CVD►           Converts string to double type value (FIELD)
   ◄CVDMBF►        Converts MBF strings to double-precision IEEE-format
   ◄CVI►           Converts string to integer type value (FIELD)
   ◄CVL►           Converts string to long type value (FIELD)
   ◄CVS►           Converts string to single type value (FIELD)
   ◄CVSMBF►        Converts MBF strings to single-precision IEEE-format
   ◄FIELD►         Allocates space for variables in a random-access buffer
   ◄GET►           Reads from a file into a random-access buffer or variable
   ◄LSET►          Moves data (left-justified) into a random-access file
   ◄MKC$►          Converts numeric currency type to a string value
   ◄MKD$►          Converts numeric double type to a string value
   ◄MKDMBF$►       Converts IEEE-format double type to 8-byte string MBF
   ◄MKI$►          Converts numeric integer type to a string value
   ◄MKL$►          Converts numeric long type to a string value
   ◄MKS$►          Converts numeric single type to a string value
   ◄MKSMBF$►       Converts IEEE-format single type to 4-byte string MBF
   ◄PUT►           Writes variable or random-access buffer to a file
   ◄RSET►          Moves data (right-justified) into a random-access file
