Declare Function CVLongInt ( ByRef str As Const String ) As LongInt

result = CVLongInt( str )

str

Does a binary copy from an 8-byte-string to a longint variable. The result will have a sense only if the string contained a correctly formatted longint, as the one generated by MKLongInt

This function is useful to read numeric values from buffers without using a Type definition.

Dim a As LongInt, b As String
a=4534
b=MKLongInt(a)
Print a, CVLongInt(b)
Sleep
