This statement converts the content of the data object 'FROM' according to a specific rule and assigns the converted content to data object 'TO'.

It is used for Type Conversion.

1.  If the data type of 'FROM' is not of the type p with length 16 and without decimal places, then the content of 'FROM' is converted to this data type. Any decimal separator in source is completely ignored.
2.  Value will be transfered to 'TO' with right allignment and having + or - sign any additional places filled with leading ZEROS. If the 'TO' variable is not sufficient then it is truncated from the left.
