Returns a string representing the octal value of a number.
Oct(number)
The number argument is any valid expression.
If number is not already a whole number, it is rounded to the nearest whole number before being evaluated.
| If number is | Oct returns |
|---|---|
| Null | Null. |
| Empty | Zero (0). |
| Any other number | Up to 11 octal characters, |
You can represent octal numbers directly by preceding numbers in the proper range with &O. For example, &O10 is the octal notation for decimal 8.
The following example uses the Oct function to return the octal value of a number:
Dim MyOct MyOct =Oct(4)' Returns 4. MyOct =Oct(8)' Returns 10. MyOct =Oct(459)' Returns 713.
