Integer data type | |
An integer (whole number). If the value is a string, the function will attempt to convert it to a number, using the part of the string from the start to the first non-numeric character (ie not one of 0123456789+-*/^). | |
Variables that have this data type are expecting a whole number. If they do not get one, due to an oversight on your part, they will truncate the number to an integer, and flag a warning in the Trace facility. A string can be converted to a number: see Conversion of Input Strings to Values |
