DEC2OCT function
Summary
Converts a decimal number to octal
Syntax
DEC2OCT(number, [places])
The DEC2OCT function syntax has the following arguments:
• Number Required. The decimal integer you want to convert. If number is negative, places is ignored and DEC2OCT returns a 10-character (30-bit) octal number in which the most significant bit is the sign bit. The remaining 29 bits are magnitude bits. Negative numbers are represented using two's-complement notation.
• Places Optional. The number of characters to use. If places is omitted, DEC2OCT uses the minimum number of characters necessary. Places is useful for padding the return value with leading 0s (zeros).
