CLngInt

Converts numeric or string expression to 64-bit integer (LongInt)

Syntax
   Declare Function CLngInt ( ByVal expression As datatype ) As LongInt

   Type typename
      Declare Operator Cast ( ) As LongInt
   End Type

Usage
   result = CLngInt( numeric expression )
   result = CLngInt( string expression )
   result = CLngInt( user defined type )

Parameters
   expression
      a numeric, string, or pointer expression to cast to a LongInt value
   datatype
      any numeric, string, or pointer data type
   typename
      a user defined type

Return Value
   A LongInt value.

Description
   The CLngInt function rounds off the decimal part and returns a 64-bit 
   LongInt value.  The function does not check for an overflow, and results 
   are undefined for values which are less than -9 223 372 036 854 775 808 
   or larger than 223 372 036 854 775 807.

   The name can be explained as 'Convert to LoNG INTeger'.

   If the argument is a string expression, it is converted to numeric by 
   using ValLng.

Example
   ' Using the CLNGINT function to convert a numeric value

   'Create an LONG INTEGER variable
   Dim numeric_value As LongInt

   'Convert a numeric value
   numeric_value = CLngInt(-12345678.123)

   'Print the result, should return -12345678
   Print numeric_value
   Sleep
