Examples:
Dim a As LongInt, b As String
a = 4534
b = MKLongInt(a)
Print a, CVLongInt(b)
Sleep
a = 4534
b = MKLongInt(a)
Print a, CVLongInt(b)
Sleep
Dialect Differences:
- Not available in the -lang qb dialect unless referenced with the alias __Mklongint.
- The string type suffix "$" is optional in the -lang fblite dialect.
- The string type suffix "$" is ignored in the -lang fb dialect, warn only with the -w suffix compile option (or -w pedantic compile option).
