Hi,

For converting string to long, use val() function

e.g.

string xyz(5)
long abc

xyz = "100"

abc = val(xyz)

Hello,

str$ / val converts

str$()
Syntax:

function string str$ (long or double number)

Description


This function converts an integer or floating point value to its textual representation.


Arguments

long or double number

----------------------

val()
Syntax:

function double val (string expr)

Description


This function converts the supplied textual representation to the represented floating point value or to the floating point value corresponding to the represented integer value.


Arguments

Regards

For performance reason, if string var does not contain double and float value, you should use lval() instead of val().
