C5_L2BIN

 L2BIN() 
 Convert a Clipper numeric value to a 32-bit binary integer
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Syntax

     L2BIN(<nExp>) --> cBinaryInteger

 Arguments

     <nExp> is the numeric value to be converted.  Decimal digits are
     truncated.

 Returns

     L2BIN() returns a four-byte character string formatted as a 32-bit
     binary integer.

 Description

     L2BIN() is a low-level file function used with FWRITE() to write
     Clipper numeric values to a binary file.  This function is like
     I2BIN() which formats a Clipper numeric to a 16-bit binary value.

     L2BIN() is the inverse function of BIN2L().

 Examples

     .  This example creates a new binary file, and then writes a
        series of numbers to the files using L2BIN() to convert the numeric
        value to 32-bit binary form:

        #include "Fileio.ch"
        //
        LOCAL nNumber, nHandle
        nHandle := FCREATE("MyFile", FC_NORMAL)
        FOR nNumber := 1 TO 100
           FWRITE(nHandle, L2BIN(nNumber) + CHR(0))
        NEXT
        FCLOSE(nHandle)
