Hi All,

This is rather simplest thing to ask. If you have a number in billion then how will you calculate the equivalent character for this decimal.

I tried Fmt and Oconv but all I got is of no use. Thanks in advance.

Rather simplest, but I have no idea what you are asking.

Can you rephrase or provide an example of what you are trying to convert - from and to, if possible?

Hi Craig,

Suppose the number is 5489275482321009. Then what will be the equivalent char to this number. Isn't it simple?

How can there be an equivalent character to the above number? I'm not able to decipher your objective here. What did you try using Fmt and Oconv functions?

Whale.

The example helps but is incomplete. You say 'equivalent char' like you want this translated into a single character - but I'm guessing you want this number spelled out in words?

If that's the case, Ray posted a routine to do that quite recently. Either one of us could search for it. If that's not the case, you need to complete the example, show us what it should convert to... perhaps with a smaller number.

Dang, I can't find the routine Ray posted for the life of me... sorry. It's here somewhere and would be helpful if that is what you are looking for.

Give us an example. What it looks like and what you want? If you want a number to be converted to words, then clickhereto get the routine Craig is talking about.

Easy Craig!. Here it is.

Hi All,

Well..I have already seen all the posts earlier. Anyway I don't have more to say but thanks for all the feedback.

I still did not get what you wanted
Do you want that number to be represented in words? Kinda lost with your terminology.

If you are asking what character is represented by UniChar(5489275482321009) you're out of luck. There isn't one.

The Unicode convention provides either for a 16-bit architecture (maximum of 65,536 different characters) or a 32-bit architecture (maximum of 4,294,967,296 different characters). The 64K character space is pretty much all accounted for (see Unicode Consortium web site) but there's plenty of unused space in the large set of code points.

But... was your question answered?
