The dectoint() function
The dectoint() function converts a decimal type number into a C int type number.
Syntax
mint dectoint(dec_val, int_val)
dec_t *dec_val;
mint *int_val;- dec_val
- A pointer to the decimal structure that contains the value to convert to an mint type value.
- int_val
- A pointer to an mint variable to contain the result of the conversion.
Usage
The dectoint() library
function converts a decimal value to a C integer. The size
of a C integer depends on the hardware and operating system of the
computer you are using; therefore, the dectoint() function
equates an integer value with the SQL SMALLINT data type. The valid
range of a SMALLINT is between 32767 and -32767.
To convert larger decimal values to larger integers, use the dectolong() library
function.
Return values
- 0
- The conversion was successful.
- <0
- The conversion failed.
- -1200
- The magnitude of the decimal type number is greater than 32767.
