Description

Arg1

Remarks

  • If number is not a valid binary number, or if number contains more than 10 characters (10 bits), Bin2Hex generates an error.

  • If number is negative, Bin2Hex ignores places and returns a 10-character hexadecimal number.

  • If Bin2Hex requires more than places characters, it generates an error.

  • If places is not an integer, it is truncated.

  • If places is nonnumeric, Bin2Hex generates an error.

  • If places is negative, Bin2Hex generates an error.
