conversion of ADJN(

[Lawrence_Leavell]

I am in the process of re-hosting a Business Basic application which uses a function ADJN(.  This function converts a numeric value to an 8-character string. Is there any ProvidexPlus equivalent?

The closest similar function would be i3E which converts numeric data to iEEE floating point format.

Lawrence, BBx's docs say it returns an 8 byte binary string. Perhaps you can test: PRINT HTA(BIN(BIGNUMBER, ) and see if BIN gives you the same value when you use HTA to convert it to hex so you can see it ?
