Convert Value to Number Method

The Convert Value to Number method converts the value that the value argument contains to a number. It returns a value that depends on the original data type of the value that the value argument contains. Table 94 describes these data types.

This method is unique to Siebel eScript. For more information, see Make Sure the JavaScript Interpreter Can Run a Function.

This method uses the same argument as the Convert Value to Integer 32 method. For more information, see Table 95.
