	//result// = **Wbin**( //number// [, //digits//] )
##
{{fbdoc item="param"}}
	##//number//##
		A whole number or expression evaluating to a whole number.
	##//digits//##
		Optional number of digits to return.

{{fbdoc item="ret"}}
	Returns a binary ##[[KeyPgWstring wstring]]## representation of ##//number//##, truncated or padded with zeros (##"0"##) to fit the number of digits, if specified.

{{fbdoc item="desc"}}
	Returns a ##[[KeyPgWstring wstring]]## (Unicode) representing the binary value of the integer ##//number//##. Binary digits range from ##0## to ##1##.

	If you specify ##//digits//## > ##0##, the result wstring will be exactly that length.  It will be truncated or padded with zeros on the left, if necessary.

	The length of the returned string will not be longer than the maximum number of digits required for the type of ##//expression//## (32 for a ##[[KeyPgLong long]]##, 64 for floating point or ##[[KeyPgLongint longint]]##)
