    - 's' has a syntactical error
    - 'r' would be too large for a REAL

                    VAR err: BOOLEAN);

(* Converts the real number 'r' to output string 's'. The
   output  string  will have a length of EXACTLY 'm'
   characters  (or length of 's'  if  'm'  is too large).
   'n' is the number of places behind the decimal point.
   If 'n' is too large in respect to 'm' it will be
   shortened to the maximum possible.If 'n' is zero then
   the decimal point will be omitted.  With 'expo' you
   can choose the exponential mode of output.
   A few examples:
             r=12.976   m   n   expo     s
                        5   2  FALSE  '12.98'
                        4   2  FALSE  '13.0'
			3   2  FALSE  ' 13'
			2   2  FALSE  '13'
			1   2  FALSE  # err #
		       -8   2  FALSE  '12.98   '
		       10   2   TRUE  '  1.30E+01'

   Possible error conditions:
    - 'm' is zero OR 'n' is negative
    - 's' is to small to hold the string representing 'r'
*)
