The dectoint() function converts a decimal type number into a C int type number.

mint dectoint(dec_val,  int_val)

	dec_t  *dec_val;

	mint  *int_val;

 



dec_val  

is a pointer to a decimal structure whose value dectoint() converts to a mint type value. 


int_val  

is a pointer to an mint value where dectoint() places the result of the conversion.

The dectoint() library function converts a decimal value to a C integer. The size of a C integer depends on the hardware and operating system of the computer you are using. Therefore, the dectoint() function equates an integer value with the SQL SMALLINT data type. The valid range of a SMALLINT is between 32767 and -32767. To convert larger decimal values to larger integers, use the dectolong() library function.
