CULngInt
Converts numeric or string expression to 64-bit unsigned integer (ULongInt)
result = CULngInt( numeric expression )
result = CULngInt( string expression )
result = CULngInt( user defined type )
expression
The CULngInt function rounds off the decimal part and returns a 64 bit ULongInt value. The function does not check for an overflow, so be sure not to pas a value thats less/larger than 0 to 18 446 744 073 709 551 615. The name can be explained as 'Convert to Unsigned LoNG INTeger'.
If the argument is a string expression, it is converted to numeric by using ValULng.
Syntax
Usage
result = CULngInt( numeric expression )
result = CULngInt( string expression )
result = CULngInt( user defined type )
Parameters
expression
a numeric, string, or pointer expression to cast to a ULongInt value
datatypeany numeric, string, or pointer data type
typenamea user defined type
Return Value
Description
The CULngInt function rounds off the decimal part and returns a 64 bit ULongInt value. The function does not check for an overflow, so be sure not to pas a value thats less/larger than 0 to 18 446 744 073 709 551 615. The name can be explained as 'Convert to Unsigned LoNG INTeger'.
If the argument is a string expression, it is converted to numeric by using ValULng.
Example
' Using the CLNGINT function to convert a numeric value
'Create an UNSIGNED LONG INTEGER variable
Dim numeric_value As ULongInt
'Convert a numeric value
numeric_value = CULngInt(12345678.123)
'Print the result, should return 12345678
Print numeric_value
Sleep
'Create an UNSIGNED LONG INTEGER variable
Dim numeric_value As ULongInt
'Convert a numeric value
numeric_value = CULngInt(12345678.123)
'Print the result, should return 12345678
Print numeric_value
Sleep
