Converting and Formatting Cicode Variables

CitectSCADA 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.

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