Declare Function MKLongInt ( ByVal number As LongInt ) As String

result = MKLongInt[$]( number )

number

Returns a String with a binary copy of the LongInt.

Does a binary copy from a LongInt variable to a string, setting its length to 8 bytes. The resulting string can be read back to a longint by CVLongInt

This function is useful to write numeric values to buffers without using a Type definition.

Dim a As LongInt, b As String

b = MKLongInt(a)
Print a, CVLongInt(b)
