Purpose
Function to perform character string to numeric conversion
Syntax
VAL(<expC>)
See Also
CAST(), INT(), ROUND(), SET DECIMALS, SET FIXED, STR(), TRANSFORM()
Description
The VAL() function converts the character expression <expC> into a numeric value. If SET FIXED is on, then the value of the string will be rounded to the nearest decimal place according to the SET DECIMALS command.
Example
string = "1234" ? val(string) 1234 set decimals to 2 set fixed on ? val("678.7615") 678.76
