FTOC()
Converts a floating point number into a special 8-byte string
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
FTOC(<nFloatingPointNumber>) --> cFloatingPointNumber
Arguments
<nFloatingPointNumber> Designate any Clipper number.
Returns
FTOC() returns an 8-byte character string.
Description
Clipper internal numbers are displayed as 64-bit floating point
numbers. FTOC() returns these 64 bits as an 8-byte string. In this
way, numbers can be locked and/or saved more compactly.
Note
. The XTOC() function converts floating point numbers in the
same way.
Example
It is not useful to display the return value on the screen:
NumberString := FTOC(274711.335) // 8 byte string
