At that specific OS release you cannot use variables to convert.

The value to convert had to be known at compile time, so constants and
literals are acceptable, not database field names or derived variables from
that. In short: limited and therefore useless, IMHO.


It has always been possible to code a variable (or even an expression) as the value to convert (operand 1). It is still required to code constants for the length and number of decimal positions (operands 2 and 3).
