Displaying large hex on screen

Archiver

Hi,

I would be grateful for some help.

I have a largish hex number ... 010DCB6B hex

which equals Decimal 17681259.

This number could in the practical situation be up to 8 bytes long
always delivered in Hex.

Meantime though I would like to display the decimal equivalent
ie 17681259 on screen using debug or serout.

how can I do this ?

If I use the multiply * & multiply high ** function I end up with
two decimal numbers but when put back together they are NOT
17681259.

thanks

Hi Barney,

This URL describes one way to parse double precision numbers for display:

It kicks out decimal digits by taking remainders from successive
divisions by 10 or 100.
