31.21.7.3 Explanation of the SCL and SCLP Instructions

The SCL/SCLP instructions convert values to scales. The value in S1 is converted according to the upper and lower limits and the converted value is stored in D1. An error will occur if the variables specified in operands S1 and D1 are not the same type. Designate the same variable type in all operands S1 and D1.

Refer to the following for specifying a constant.

When operand D1 is a float variable

When 0f (zero and lower case "f") is input, the following values are interpreted as float values.

When operand D1 is a real variable

When 0r (zero and lower case "r") is input, the following values are interpreted as real values.

When calculating data in a specified array

Specify the array using Data [0] or Data [N] (N indicates an integer variable).

When operands S1 and D1 specify the entire array, an error will occur even if the specified variables are the same type.
