result = CUShort( numeric expression )
result = CUShort( string expression )
result = CUShort( user defined type )
expression
The CUShort function rounds off the decimal part and returns a 16 bit UShort value. The function does not check for an overflow, so be sure not to pas a value thats less/larger then 0 to 65535. The name can be explained as 'Convert to Unsigned Short'.
If the argument is a string expression, it is converted to numeric by using ValUInt.

Example
' Using the CUSHORT function to convert a numeric value
'Create an USHORT variable
Dim numeric_value As UShort
'Convert a numeric value
numeric_value = CUShort(36000.4)
'Print the result, should return 36000
Print numeric_value
Sleep
'Create an USHORT variable
Dim numeric_value As UShort
'Convert a numeric value
numeric_value = CUShort(36000.4)
'Print the result, should return 36000
Print numeric_value
Sleep
