Converting and Formatting Cicode Variables

Citect SCADA provides four functions for converting integers and real numbers into strings, and vice versa.

IntToStr: converts an integer variable into a string
RealToStr: converts a floating-point variable into a string
StrToInt: converts a string into an integer variable
StrToReal: converts a string into a floating-point variable

You can convert data types without using these Cicode functions, but the result of the format conversion might not be what you expect. If you want more control over the conversion process, use the appropriate Cicode functions.

Note: Variables of type object cannot be converted to any other type.

When variables are automatically converted, or when the return value from a function call is converted, specific rules apply.
