Convert FB from CHAR to Real or Integer

[mhi]

Hi, I am getting data from serial channel of CP341 of S7315 in char and moving them into DBs. The data format is 123.456 in ascii -char- format. My question is how can I do this simply I mean that is there any ready function block for it. like convert char ascii to reall or integer if so where :( Could somebody tell me which FC or FB on S7 300 PLC do I have to use to convert char ascii to real or integer? In S7 I have used the ATH. Do I have to create my own FC or is there a FC in the S7 300 library ready to use?. Thanks in advance,
