Syntax

char *dececvt(dec_t *np, mint ndigit, mint *decpt, mint *sign);

1. np is a pointer to a decimal structure that contains the decimal value you want to convert.
2. ndigit is the length of the ASCII string.
3. decpt is a pointer to an integer that is the position of the decimal point relative to the start of the string.
