I'd really frown on OCONV(item,"A;1:' * ':2") if I saw it in code.
What's wrong with:
X=item<1>:"*":item<2>
?

If you're into reverse polish notation I can understand how an F
correlative might be appreciated there.

And I can understand something like this:
X = OCONV(item<2>,"A;N(VALUE)")
If the dict item VALUE had some complex calculation that you didn't
want to repeat in code. But without a reference to a file that's not
going to work.

But  what do you get from a cryptic  A-correlative that you don't get
in equally concise and more readable BASIC syntax?
