Raw

Returns the stored integer, the amount times 10000, for saving to a file or database.

Syntax

Raw( ) as int64

Notes

• A Currency is this number -- four decimal places held in a int64, which is what makes the arithmetic exact.
• The form to store in a database column or a binary record: one integer, no rounding on the way out and none on the way back.
• CurrencyFromRaw is the inverse.

Examples

#import "std/money"
using money

dim as Currency c = CurrencyFromParts( 12, 3400 )

print c.Raw( )               '' 123400
print c.ToString( )          '' 12.3400

'' Round-trips exactly, which a double never promises
print CurrencyFromRaw( c.Raw( ) ).ToString( )          '' 12.3400
