Problem converting number from string text to integer

Hello folks,

Using AB RSLogix micro..

I have a 6 digit ASCII text string and Im looking to convert the 4 most significant digits to an integer using the ACI instruction, problem is that I get overflow errors because sometimes the conversion exceeds the 32767 limit..anyone have any idea how to extract the leftmost characters of the string so that I can then convert to integer

Thanks for your help

Please read chapter 24 String Manipulation Instrucitons of the General Instructions manual.

Specifically the subchapter "LEFT".

MID instruction and then the STOD instruction, will get you what you want
