Well, I think it is just that: It converts numbers to strings. But, as handling
string variables is not very efficient in JAL is uses the volatile option. You
can use your own 'put pseudo variable, and you will get, one char after the
other, the resulting string.
You can however, if you like, have that string passed on to some output routine
directly.
How would you like to have the string given back?
