_DFTOD - convert floating point number to EIS decimal.

(GCOS-8 only)

Usage:

Ndigits = _dftod(result,ndscn,X);

Where:

void *result;
points to an area of memory where the EIS decimal result will be stored.
int ndscn;
is a numeric descriptor for the result value. The format of EIS descriptors is given in GCOS-8 hardware manuals.
double X;
is the number you want to convert.
int Ndigits;
is the number of significant digits in the resulting string.

Description:

"_dftod" converts a normal "double" value to the EIS decimal format. This can then be used in calls to routines that manipulate EIS numbers.
