Thread Subject: Convert decimal to 24-bit binary

How can i convert a decimal number to binary number LIMITED to 24-bits? I especially need to know how to do this in Simulink, but knowing how to do it in ML would help as well, seeing that i can just use an m-file block.

MATLAB does not have any 24-bit type. You could make 24-bit quantities stored in a 32-bit word ... would that be sufficient?
