# System Parameters

'AC' | Auto-Convert Values to STR( ) or NUM( )

## Description

When the 'AC' parameter is enabled, if the system detects a numeric value when it is expecting a string value (or vice-versa), it will automatically convert this value to a STR( ) or NUM( ) function.

#### Note:
As this functionality is done automatically by the *compiler rather than at run-time, programs created with this option enabled will be fully compatible with prior releases.

(The 'AC' system parameter was added in PxPlus 2017.)
