Bit-string to character-string conversion converts a bit-string value to a character-string value of the same length as the bit string. Each bit of the bit string is converted to a 0 or 1 character in the resulting character string. A null bit string is converted to a null character string.
| Source | Result |
|---|---|
| '0'B | '0' |
| "B | " |
| '1011'B | '1011' |
If the context that caused the conversion gives a target length, the character string is truncated to conform to a shorter target or is padded on the right with blanks to conform to a longer target.
