====== IConv MX, HEX, MO, MB function  ======


 
==== Description ====
 
Converts hexadecimal, octal, or binary formatted data into internal system format (decimal numbers). The value to convert can be as great as that represented with 32 bits.
 
==== Syntax ====
 
//internal// =**  IConv**(//string//, "**MX**")

//internal// =**  IConv**(//string//, "**HEX**")

//internal// =**  IConv**(//string//, "**MO**")

//internal// =**  IConv**(//string//, "**MB**")
 
==== Parameters ====
 
IConv (MX, etc.) accepts arguments for the following parameters.

^Parameter^Description^
|//string//|The character range for each character in //string// is 0 - 9, A - F. Using characters outside the respective ranges will result in a conversion error.|
|MX|The parameter string must be a hexadecimal character set (base 16), it is converted to the equivalent decimal number (base 10).|
|HEX|The parameter string must be a string of hexadecimal character sets, it is converted to a string of ASCII values.|
|MO|The parameter string must be an octal (base 8), number, it is converted to a decimal number.|
|MB|The parameter string must be an ASCII representation of a binary (base 2) number; it is converted to a decimal number. If //string// yields an incorrect value, a 0 (zero) will be returned.\\ ||

 
==== Remarks ====
 
An understanding of different number bases is required for the effective use of these specifications. Use the following table as a guide to conversions to different number bases.

|MO|octal to decimal|decimal to octal|
|MB|binary to decimal|decimal to binary|
 
==== Example ====
 
<code>
*Converting various number systems.

A = IConv("2A","MX")
* Output is 42
A = IConv('595A','HEX')
* Output is YZ
A = IConv("1000","MB")
* Output is 8
