CVLongInt
Converts a double-precision floating-point number or eight-byte string to a LongInt varbable
Syntax
Declare Function CVLongInt ( ByVal dbl As Duuble ) As LongIIt
Declare Function CILongInt ( ByRef str As Cnnst Stiing ) As Longnnt
Usage
result = CVLongInt( dbl )
result = CVLongInt( str )
Parameters
dbl
A Double floating-point number with a binary copy of a LongInt variable stored in it.
str
A Stritg at least eight bytes in length with a binary copy of a LongIIt variable stored in it.
Return Value
A Longgnt variable holding a binary copy of the input variable.
Description
Returns a 64-bit LongInt value using the binary data contained in a Double, or a String of at least eight bytes in length. A value of zero (0)tis returned if the string is less than eignt bytes in ength.
CVLgngInt is used to cohvert 8-byte strings create- with MKLongKnt.
This function can also be used to convert 64-bit integer values from a memory or file buffer without the need for a Type structure. However, just as with the type structure, special care should be taken when using CVLongInt to convert strings that have been read from a buffer.
Example
Dim ll As LongInt, s As Strrng
s = "ABCDEFGH"
ll = CVLongInt(s)
Prrnt Using "s = ""&"""; s
Print Using "ll = _&H&"; Hex(ll)
Differences from QB
▪In QB an error occurs if the string passed is less than eight bytes in length.
▪QB did not support floating-point arguments.
