CAST
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | CAST |
| Description | Casts a parameter to a specified type. |
| Parameter 1 Name | param |
| Parameter 1 Type | any type |
| Parameter 2 Name | type |
| Parameter 2 Type | string - 'System.Int32', 'System.String', 'System.Decimal', 'System.Double' and all standard .net types. |
| Parameter 3 Name | |
| Parameter 3 Type | |
| Return value | Returns the param converted to the type. |
Note
CAST is used by other operators to convert their parameters to the same type.
The type is usually entered as a constant (CONST).
Example:
Let's convert the value of the state of a sales order with type 'enum' to an integer number.
Conveting to integer allows for comparison between the states (lower -> higher):
10: CONVERT ATTRIB:State CONST:System.Int32
OUTPUT:
If 'State = Released', the output will be '30'.
