Parameter	Data type	Description
<variable>	NUMBER	Variable which will contain the converted number.
<expression>	NUMBER/DECIMAL/DATE-TIME/TEXT	The expression which will resolve to a number. Note: Date-time values will be converted into their equivalent number of milliseconds starting from '31-Dec-1969 16:00:00' (which is equivalent to 0). For instance, '31-Dec-1969 16:00:01'.toLong() will yield 1000 and '31-Dec-1969 15:59:59'.toLong() will yield -1000 and so on. Decimals will be truncated off their fraction parts. Empty texts will throw an error during runtime.

 marks = 99.9;
 marks_text = "100";

 info toLong(marks); // Returns 99
 info marks_text.toLong(); // Returns 100
