I need to know how to convert RS232 signal into BCD format ?

 

...is not the right question.

Think what RS232 is.

Think what BCD is.

Think what you need.

Actually your question seems like a reasonable one to me.

Since you are dealing with an 8-bit binary value received over your RS-232 link then you can predict what the range of BCD numbers you will need to be able to support. The smallest value is 0 and the largest value is 255.

Before I divulge any more information it would be nice to know if this question is part of a class assignment?

The RS232 is a protocol, which describes hardware (mechanical and electrical specifications). The BCD is a data format.
It is possible from the question understand what he meant and make assumptions.
The RS232 supports 6, 7, 8 bits...which create more assumptions.
