Text to Integer

tompynation

How can i convert a variable of type Text to an Integer?

In Example:
lv_Filter is a Text field,
lv_FilterCode is a Text field

Now i would like to add the lv_FilterCode as a filter for an Integer field... How do i do this?

FILTERGROUP(4);
lv_Filter := GETFILTERS;
lv_FilterCode := COPYSTR(lv_Filter, 5, STRLEN(lv_Filter));
FILTERGROUP(0);

lv_ReceptITem.RESET;
lv_ReceptItem.SETRANGE(lv_ReceptItem.ReceptID,lv_FilterCode);

I get error on the line in Bold : Type Conversion: ==> Integer := Text :?:

BBlue

EVALUATE(varInt, lv_FilterCode);
lv_ReceptItem.SETRANGE(lv_ReceptItem.ReceptID,varInt);

I was looking in help for:

- Cast
- FORMAT

But non of these searches brought me to evaluate function
