FUSING

Action

FUSING returns a formatted string of a single value.

 

 

Syntax

target = FUSING(source, "mask")

 

 

Remarks

target	The string that is assigned with the formatted string.
source	The source variable of the type SINGLE that will be converted
mask	The mask for formatting the string.   The mask is a string constant that always must start with #. After the decimal point you can provide the number of digits you want the string to have: .### will give a result like 123.456. Rounding is used when you use the # sign. So 123.4567 will be converted into 123.457   When no rounding must be performed, you can use the & sign instead of the # sign. But only after the DP. .&&& will result in 123.456 when the single has the value 123.4567

 

When the single is zero, 0.0 will be returned, no matter how the mask is set up.
