ASCII charater stored in SINT - need to convert

[accidentalengineer]

This pertains to RSLOGIX 5000. I have a machine that sends me back a single ASCII character in a SINT and I need to convert it into its decimal equivalent. For example, 49 (which represents decimal 1) is stored in a SINT. I need convert into decimal form in a SINT, DINT, or REAL so that I can perform some math on it and use it as a normal number. I've used various combination of MOV, COPY, DTOS, and STOD, but I can't seem to figure out the magic combination as my brain is fried at the moment. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If the character is always numeric, just subtract 48 from it.
