converting to binary in assembly

[cannsyl]

Hi
I am very new to assembly. I am trying to convert some numbers to binary. I have written most of the code so far, but can't figure out how to convert to binary. The user enters a number that number is stored in one register in another final register initialized to 0 the value is multiplied by 10 and the stored number is added so that if the user enters 1 the answer is one if they then enter a 2 the answer is 12, and so on. I then have to convert the final number entered to binary. That is where I am stuck. Here is what I have so far...I have been trying test, but that doesnt seem to work.

 mov         eax,char_prompt
            call        print_string            ; request a char. input
            call        print_nl
            mov         edx,0

L1:                                             ;Loop 1
            call        get_kb                  ; read input character
            cmp         AL, 0Dh                 ; compare the key entered to CR
            je          false2
true:
   
            cmp         AL, '0'                 ; compare AL to 0
            jl          false2                  ; no match do second else

            cmp         Al, '9'                 ;compare AL to 9
            jg          false2                  ;no match do second else
    
            sub         al,'0'                  ; subtract 0 from what ever is in AL
            mov         [input1],al             ;move whatever is in AL to inputdigit
                      
            imul         edx,10                 ;multiply edx by 10
           
            
            add         edx,[input1]            ;add value in input1 to value in edx
            mov         eax,edx                 ;move value in edx to eax
                       
             
            call        print_int
            call        print_nl
            loop        L1
false2:
            mov         eax,out_msg3
            call        print_string             ;jump to error statement
            call        print_nl

I think you may be confused.. the value in the edx register IS in binary form.
If the user entered '16' (as ascii letters from the keyboard) then after your conversion the actual value in edx is 16 (sixteen) and the (32 bit) edx register looks like this:
00000000000000000000000000010000

Do you mean that you want to re-display what the user entered but as a series of ones and zeros??
