ASCII2OCTAL converts binary data to octal format. This routine is the inverse of the OCTAL2ASCII routine.
CALL "ASCII2OCTAL"
USING ASCII-VALUE, OCTAL-VALUE
| ASCII-VALUE PIC X(2) | The input data area containing the ASCII representation of a unit of data. |
| OCTAL-VALUE PIC X(8) | The output data area to contain the octal value. |
When you define the parameters, use the exact field sizes specified in the calling conventions above, otherwise the runtime may terminate abnormally.
