18.5 FNC117 – EVAL / Character String to Floating Point Conversion
Outline
This instruction converts a character string (ASCII codes) into binary floating point data.
On the other hand, the VAL (FNC201) instruction converts a character string (ASCII codes) into binary data.
→ For a character string, refer to Section 5.3.
→ For handling of floating point, refer to Subsection 5.1.3.
→ For VAL (FNC201) instruction, refer to Section 26.2.

Explanation of function and operation
1. 32-bit operation (DEVAL and DEVALP)
A character string stored in and later is converted into binary floating point, and stored to [ +1, ].
A specified character string may be in the decimal point format or exponent format. A character string in either format
can be converted into binary floating point data.
