CLngInt
Converts numeric or string expression to 64-bit integer (LongInt)
result = CLngInt( numeric expression )
result = CLngInt( string expression )
result = CLngInt( user defined type )
expression
The CLngInt function rounds off the decimal part and returns a 64 bit LongInt value. The function does not check for an overflow, so be sure not to pas a value thats less/larger than -9 223 372 036 854 775 808 to 9 223 372 036 854 775 807. The name can be explained as 'Convert to LoNG INTeger'.
If the argument is a string expression, it is converted to numeric by using ValLng.
Syntax
Usage

Parameters
expression
a numeric, string, or pointer expression to cast to a LongInt value
datatypeany numeric, string, or pointer data type
typenamea user defined type
Return Value
Description
The CLngInt function rounds off the decimal part and returns a 64 bit LongInt value. The function does not check for an overflow, so be sure not to pas a value thats less/larger than -9 223 372 036 854 775 808 to 9 223 372 036 854 775 807. The name can be explained as 'Convert to LoNG INTeger'.
If the argument is a string expression, it is converted to numeric by using ValLng.
Example
' Using the CLNGINT function to convert a numeric value
'Create an LONG INTEGER variable
Dim numeric_value As LongInt
'Convert a numeric value
numeric_value = CLngInt(-12345678.123)
'Print the result, should return -12345678
Print numeric_value
Sleep
'Create an LONG INTEGER variable
Dim numeric_value As LongInt
'Convert a numeric value
numeric_value = CLngInt(-12345678.123)
'Print the result, should return -12345678
Print numeric_value
Sleep
