Returns a value converted to the Long data type.

Syntax

CLng ( expr )

Elements

expr

Any numeric expression, or a string expression that LotusScript can convert to a number.

CLng returns the value of expr rounded to the nearest integer, as a Long value.

CLng(EMPTY) returns 0.

If expr is a string expression, CLng returns the numeric representation of the string, rounded to the nearest integer. If LotusScript cannot convert the string to a number, the function raises an error.

If the value of expr is too large to fit in the Long data type, the function raises an error.
