Conversion

Inline Functions - Conversion

Note that the success of a conversion depends on the data itself and not only on the input type. For example, converting a Long data type to a Short will work as long as the data itself is convertible, i.e. a number of 16 bits or less. Converting a Decimal to Boolean will only work if the decimal number is 1.0 or 0.0.

Boolean can be converted from a number, where 1 equals True and 0 equals False.
