Specifications

• VAL
The VAL function changes the numbers in a character variable into a numerical value.
Format: VAL (character variable)
Since this
function changes the numbers in the character variable into a numerical value,
when there
are no numbers in the character variable (for example, "ABC"), an error will
occur.
Example: If Z$= "78963", VAL (Z$) =78963
Note: When this function is used in a program and an error occurs as a result of lacking
numbers in the data,
'IE RR 2" will be displayed but not the program area and
line number.
