Hi,
THIS IS BY NO WAY A EXPLICIT OR IMPLICIT CRITISM, BUG REPORT OR SUCH THING!
This question is driven by pure curiosity... !
There is a command "AIP" for the HP42s/Free42s/DM42, which cuts off the digits after the
decimal point/comma and put the ASCII representation of the remaining integer part into
the Alpha register.
But its counterpart "AFP" is missing despite there exists IP an FP.
What could be the reason for HP's decision to do so?
Cheers!
Have a nice weekend!

Re: AIP <=> "AFP"
I'd miss an "APNUM" more -- appending an entire real number in the current output format to the alpha string in the respective register. Appending just fractional parts doesn't make any sense to me.

Re: AIP <=> "AFP"
AIP is useful when you work with loop counters ccccccc.fffii to be able to display the current count without the fractional part. I don't see a similar need for AFP.
Isn't it what ARCL does already?
What I'm missing on the 42 from the 41C X-Functions is ANUM.

Yep!
Using IP or FP while playing with FIX xx and flags 28/29 you can get pretty much get what you need.
Unfortunately STOFLAG/RCLFLAG functions from HP-41 XFM module are missing.

Thanks for pointing to it -- obviously slipped my attention.

walter wished for "pending an entire real number in the current output format"

Gene: Ah, but the original feature request was to add the entire real number in the current output format. ARCL does just that. No flags needed since the original format was specified.

Even proper copying and pasting seems to be difficult. And the original question was answered already ... but not by everybody yet.
