I - s instruction: the instruction converts the integer

word to a ASCII string of 8 characters in length.Format

(FMT) specifies the number of digits to the right of the

decimal point.The result string is written in 9

consecutive bytes from the OUT.

Illegal format ( nnn > 5 ) ASCII constant string data type format :

String is a series of characters, each character is stored as a byte.The first byte of a

string defines the length of the string, that is the number of characters.If a constant

string is entered directly into the program editor or data block, the string must start

and end with double quotation marks ("string constant").

The following memory map shows the format of the string data type.The length of a

string can be between 0 and 254 characters.The maximum length of the string is 255

bytes.

C = comma (1) or decimal point (0)

nnn = The number of digits on the right side of the decimal point

The length of the output string is always 8 characters.nnn valid values

are from 0 to 5. If nnn=0, the value will be displayed without a decimal

point.When the value of NNN is greater than 5, the output is displayed

as a string of 8 ASCII space characters . C decides to use a comma or a

decimal point between integer and decimal .The 4 bits above the top of

the format must be zero.
