Thanks for your help Jim,

In fact, I was thinking in which way I could convert a decimal or
hexadecimal number (or string which represent a number of these types) in
which the alarm of an equipment are codified, and then being able to
identify when and what alarm has been raised or cleared.

Thinking in several suggestions I have received I have realized that if I
write one TO STRING object, with the following transaction (where "a" is the
integer number to be converted):

WRITE TEST bit(a,31),bit(a,30),........,bit(a,0)

I get a string with 1s and 0s.

Regards,
