The '''MKL$''' function converts a numerical value to a [[LONG]] value represented as a 4 byte [[ASCII]] character [[STRING]].

:: 4byte_string$ = MKL$(long_value&)
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
* The long integer number value is converted to four ASCII characters. To prove this try: PRINT MKL$(12345678).
|
||
|
* The numerical data usually uses less bytes than printing the LONG number to a file.
|
||
|
* [[LONG]] Integer values can be from -2147483648 to 2147483647.
|
||
|
* A 10 digit long number can save 6 bytes using MKL$.
|
||
|
* [[CVL]] can convert the value back to a [[LONG]] numerical value.
|
||
|
* [[LONG]] numerical variable values [[PUT]] into a [[BINARY]] file are automatically placed as an MKL$ [[ASCII]] string value.
