Function:    BIN2DEC()

Purpose:     Convert a binary number to its equivalent decimal value.

Syntax:      BIN2DEC( bin_str )

Arguments:   bin_str     - A character string representing the binary
                           number to convert to decimal value.

Returns:     The decimal value of the binary string parameter.

Description: BIN2DEC() converts a string that represents a binary number
             into its decimal equivalent.

Notes:       BIN2DEC() only converts positive numbers, there is no
             provision for determining the sign bit.  The <bin_str>
             parameter must be a valid binary string, i.e.  all characters
             must be either a zero or a one.  If a character is not a one
             ("1"), then BIN2DEC() will assume it to represent a zero in
             its parse calculation.

             If the required parameter is omitted, a zero will be returned
             and RLIBERROR() set.

Example:     bin_num = "11001101"
             dec_val = BIN2DEC(bin_num)
             ? dec_val                     && result = 205
