CLNGINT
Converts numeric or string expression to 64-bit integer (Longint)
Syntax:
Usage:
result = Clngint( numeric expression )
result = Clngint( string expression )
result = Clngint( user defined type )
result = Clngint( string expression )
result = Clngint( user defined type )
Parameters:
expression
a numeric, string, or pointer expression to cast to a Longint value
datatype
any numeric, string, or pointer data type
typename
a user defined type
Return Value:
A Longint 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, and results are undefined for values which are less than -9 223 372 036 854 775 808 or larger than 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.

Examples:
' 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
