Hello, I have to convert integers in characters; for example: from
number i=123456 to string c="123456".
I could write in a file the variable "i", and later read it as a
variable "c", but this method seems to me very inefficient.
Some suggestions?

Well, that's almost what you do, however, not to an external file but
to an 'internal' one as defined by your c, as in:

write(c, '(i6)') i

Is c a default character variable here?

Yes, following the example above, it is.
If i=123456
and c is a string that can hold at least six characters, the the result of
write(c, '(i6)') i is that c = '123456'

Personally, I found the internal read/write syntax much easier to follow
that either the nonstandard encode or nonstandard decode functions.
