Convert a string to an Integer

ombacke

Is there a way to convert a string to an Integer in Navision

You can try the evaluate function

EVALUATE(Integer, string)

Or

IF EVALUATE(Integer, string) THEN

if you want to avoid runtime errors.

Hi ombacke

look at CodeUnit 6201 Conventions

Thank you Morten

I did not know this codeunit actualy, but it is very nice!

Use this funtion

TextToInteger(VarText : Text[250]) : Integer
EVALUATE(VarInteger,VarText);
EXIT(VarInteger);

Basicly the same, but provided by Navision 8)

I think we should put this on the tips and tricks forum.

There is only one tiny little problem, the codeunit is only provided with commerce portal, so you will have to copy and paste the functions since not all customers have c.p.

So.... you are saying that instead of:

EVALUATE(MyInt,MyTxt);

You would rather add a global variable to your object, and do:

MyInt := CU6201.TextToInteger(MyTxt);

Although from a developer's standpoint it may be cool to write more code, but it seems a bit overdone doesn't it.

Yes, in this case you are right, and it is a bit overdone. 8)

But there are functions in this codeunit that are more complex, you should copy this to your codeunit if you want to use these.

integer is in this range -2,147,483,647 to 2,147,483,647 so no more then Text[10]
