I have to output my data and associated string information to a string array and then to a spreadsheet file.
I want to do this by converting integers (and other numbers) to an identical string of characters.
I have tried Type Cast with a string constant as the type input but it DOES NOT WORK. Instead, I get the ASCII character whose numerical designation matches the integer, e.g. integer "50" become capital "P".
I want integer "50" to be string "50".
Please advise and no, I do not want to make arrays of clusters.
Solved! Go to Solution.

I found my answer but only after searching for "Number" conversion rather than "Integer" conversions.
In the Programming palette - String Functions - String/Number Conversion - Number to Decimal String:
"Converts number to a string of decimal digits at least width characters wide or wider if necessary. If number is floating-point, it is rounded to a 64-bit integer before conversion."
