required syntax to covert string to integer using modifystage

Hi,

The function for converting int16 to string as follows :

NewColumn:int 16 = lookup_int16_from_string(Old Column:String)

In case of remaining Integer type the convesrion from string to integer would be default i.e. No function required to convert String to Integer.

Regards
Nagesh.

I would have thought some of the simpler functions, such as int16_from_string or int32_from_string, or uint32_from_string, would have been more appropriate.

Yep, the lookup functions translate a list of strings into a specified set of integer values, you are better off with Ray's list of conversion functions.

Is int32_from_string and int16_from_string still available? I do not find it documented in version 7.5.1.

When i tried to use int32_from_string in the modify stage i get the following error:

Error in binding: Unknown conversion: int32_from_string
