STRING_TO_INT() function

[juance]

Hi all: I am trying to figure out what is the result of converting an string to an int using STRING_TO_INT() function. For example: integer := STRING_TO_INT('A'); What is the converted value ? What is the conversion criteria this function uses ?. There's not information in the manual. Thanks!

Hi Juace, What is the value of the string you are trying to convert and for what reason, is it an ascii string ?.I've never done this on CX programmer but I have done it in other software packages so I may be able to help. Also what are you planning to do with this string ?

My understanding of that command is that it converts a string of numeric data into an actual number. Say for example you read a barcode serially. It's stored as ASCII string. That command converts the number in the string to an integer. So string '1234' can be converted to the integer 1234.
