Easy one := Can i convert text to int?

Danny

This is an easy one im sure but can i convert text to an integer.

ie the opposite of format

like the VAL function in VB (i think its VAL)

Any help much appreciated

Look at the EVALUATE function.

eg.:
txtTextfield := '123';
IF NOT(EVALUATE(intNumber,txtTextfield)) THEN
ERROR('Error occured');

And yes, this was an easy one <img border="0" title="" alt="" src="images/smiles/icon_wink.gif" />

how about this?
i want to insert field DF."3-Line Item Number" (integer type) from LineNumber
so the Line number should be text or integer?

this is my code

Linenumber := COPYSTR(vstring3,4,6);
DF."3-Detail Tag" := 'DET';
DF."3-Line Item Number" := EVALUATE(LineNUmber,vstring3);
