How to convert a decimal number to binary?

All,

Assuming Splunk has a function for this. But for the life of me I can't find it. Is there a tool to convert decimal numbers to binary? Assuming something like this exists:

mysearch | eval test=tobinary(mybase10number)

This can be done with tonumber:

mysearch | eval test=tonumber(mybase10number, 2)

Unfortunately tonumber(mybase10number, 2) converts binary to decimal and not the other way around. So in the following example, the result in 'test' would be 5.

 mysearch | eval mybase2number=101 | eval test=tonumber(mybase2number, 2)
