	number can be a scalar number, array or cluster of numbers, array of clusters of numbers, and so on.
	width must be numeric. If unwired, the function uses exactly as many digits as are needed to represent the number, with no extra padding.
	octal integer string is the resulting octal string. The following table shows how the values of number and width affect octal integer string. number width octal integer string Comments 3 4 0003 — 42 3 052 — –4.2 3 37777777774 –4.2 is rounded up to –4 in 64-bit integer format. width is too small to represent the octal version of a negative number, so the field width is extended.
