Example:

PROGRAM MAIN
VAR
    sP1 : STRING := '16#89345678';
    sP2 : STRING := '8#21115053170';
    sP3 : STRING := '2#10001001001101000101011001111000';
    sP4 : STRING := '2301908600';
    sP5 : STRING := '';
    pP1 : PVOID := 0;
    pP2 : PVOID := 0;
    pP3 : PVOID := 0;
    pP4 : PVOID := 0;
    pP5 : PVOID := 0;
END_VAR

pP1 := STRING_TO_PVOID( sP1 );
pP2 := STRING_TO_PVOID( sP2 );
pP3 := STRING_TO_PVOID( sP3 );
pP4 := STRING_TO_PVOID( sP4 );
pP5 := STRING_TO_PVOID( sP5 );

The result:

pP1 = 2301908600

pP2 = 2301908600

pP3 = 2301908600

pP4 = 2301908600

pP5 = 0
