Syntax

HEX2DEC(signed_hexadecimal_number)

signed_hexadecimal_number – The signed 40-bit hexadecimal value to be converted to decimal, provided as a string.

The most significant bit of signed_hexadecimal_number is the sign bit; that is, negative numbers are represented in two’s complement format.

For this function, this value has a maximum of 7fffffffff if positive, and a minimum of 8000000000 if negative.

Hexadecimal digits are not case-sensitive; a-f and A-F are equivalent.
