The HEX2OCT function converts a hexadecimal number to the corresponding octal number.
HEX2OCT(hex-string, convert-length)
hex-string: The string value representing the number to be converted. hex-string must contain only the numbers 0 through 9 and the letters A through F.
convert-length: An optional number value specifying the minimum length of the number returned. convert-length must be in the range 1 to 32. If convert-length is omitted, it is assumed to be 1. If it is included, the number returned is padded with leading zeros, if necessary, so that it is at least the length specified by convert-length.
Notes
This function uses two’s complement notation. Negative numbers are always 11 digits in length.
