TextToInteger
Converts Text 't' to an Integer value.
If 't' is outside the boundaries of the Integer values the function will return an Integer default value. To check if the conversion is possible you can use the TextToIntegerValidate function.
Available in:
- Server-side logic: Yes
- Client-side logic: Yes
- Database: Can be used with attributes in aggregates.
- Local Storage: Can be used with attributes in aggregates.
Parameters
- t
- Type: Text. Mandatory.
The value to be converted
Output
Type: Integer
Examples
TextToInteger("200") = 200
TextToInteger("-200") = -200
TextToInteger("200.482") = 0
TextToInteger("not a number") = 0
TextToLongInteger
Converts Text 't' to a Long Integer value.
If 't' is outside the boundaries of the Long Integer values the function will return a Long Integer default value. To check if the conversion is possible you can use the TextToLongIntegerValidate function.
Available in:
- Server-side logic: Yes
- Client-side logic: Yes
- Database: Can be used with attributes in aggregates.
- Local Storage: Can be used with attributes in aggregates.
Parameters
- t
- Type: Text. Mandatory.
The value to be converted
Output
Type: LongInteger
Examples
TextToLongInteger("200") = 200

TextToTime
Converts Text 't' to a Time value.
If 't' can't be converted to a valid Time value, the function will return the Time default value. To check if the conversion is possible you can use the TextToTimeValidate function.
You should check the limits of the Time data type. You should also ensure that the Time you type in the argument complies with the Time format (hh:mm:ss).

- t
- Type: Text. Mandatory.
The value to be converted
Output
Type: Time
Examples
TextToTime("12:12:12") = #12:12:12#
TextToTime("23:68:12") = #00:00:00#
TextToTime("0-0-0") = #00:00:00#
TextToTime("abc") = #00:00:00#
