I apologize if writing in English is not acceptable, but I only understand German enough to read the posts…

I think there might be some wrong checking in the various conversion functions, such as DEC\_TO\_BYTE, DEC\_TO\_DWORD, DEC\_TO\_INT and so on, at least in the plaintext version of the library (oscat276.txt). The IF clause

“IF X \> 47 AND x \< 56 THEN”

appears in them, but if you check the ASCII table you’ll see that it should probably read

“IF X \> 47 AND x \< 58 THEN”

otherwise characters ‘9’ and ‘8’ will not be evaluated.

Hallo,

das gleiche Problem ist auch in der Funktion FLOAT\_TO\_REAL.  
Auch hier wird leider immer die 8 und die 9 ignoriert.
