Description

AdsGetLong returns the signed long value stored in the numeric, integer, short integer, double, CurDouble, RowVersion, or auto-increment field. It is possible to either overflow the value or lose decimal precision by using this function. If more precision is desired, use AdsGetDouble. When using this function to retrieve an auto-increment value, be sure to treat the result as an unsigned value. If AdsGetLong is used to retrieve a Money field, the four decimal digits will be rounded to the nearest whole number.

Example

iID := AdsTable1.FieldByName( ‘RecordID’ ).AsInteger;
