ValToStr Converts a value to a string
Example
ValToStr (Value To String) is used to convert a value of any data type to a string.
VAR string str;
VAR pos p := [100,200,300];
str := ValToStr(1.234567);
The variable str is given the value "1.23457".
str := ValToStr(TRUE);
The variable str is given the value "TRUE".
str := ValToStr(p);
The variable str is given the value "[100,200,300]".
Return value Data type: string
Arguments
Syntax
The value converted to a string with standard RAPID format. This means in principle
that decimal numbers are rounded off to 5 places of decimals, but not with more than
6 digits.
A runtime error is generated if the resulting string is too long.
ValToStr ( Val )
Val (Value) Data type: ANYTYPE
A value of any data type.
ValToStr’(’
[ Val ’:=’ ]
’)’
A function with a return value of the data type string.
