MKI
Does a binary copy from a Integer variable to a String, setting its length to 4 bytes
result = MKI[$]( number )
Does a binary copy from an Integer variable to a String, setting its length to 4 bytes. The resulting string can be read back to an Integer by CVI
This function is useful to write numeric values to buffers without using a Type definition.

Description
Does a binary copy from an Integer variable to a String, setting its length to 4 bytes. The resulting string can be read back to an Integer by CVI
This function is useful to write numeric values to buffers without using a Type definition.
Example
Dim a As Integer, b As String
a=4534
b=MKI(a)
Print a, CVI(b)
Sleep
a=4534
b=MKI(a)
Print a, CVI(b)
Sleep
Dialect Differences
- In the -lang qb dialect, MKI returns a 2-byte-string, since a QB integer is only 16 bits.
- The string type suffix "$" is obligatory in the -lang qb dialect.
- The string type suffix "$" is optional in the -lang fblite and -lang fb dialects.
