CLng Function

Converts any string or numeric expression to a long integer.

Syntax:


CLng (Expression As Variant) As Long

Return value:

Long

Parameters:

Expression: Any string or numeric expression that you want to convert. To convert a string expression, the number must be entered using a dot "." as the decimal point and a comma "," as the thousands separator (for instance 123,456.78), which may differ from your Collabora Office language settings.

If Expression lies outside the valid long integer range between -2.147.483.648 and 2.147.483.647, Collabora Office Basic returns an overflow error.

This function always rounds the fractional part of a number to the nearest integer.

Error codes:

5 Invalid procedure call

Numeric expressions are displayed according to Collabora Office language settings:
