Oct

Returns a string representing the octal value of a number.

Oct(number)

The number argument is any valid expression.

Remarks

If number is not already a whole number, it is rounded to the nearest whole number before being evaluated.

You can represent octal numbers directly by preceding numbers in the proper range with &O. For example, &O10 is the octal notation for decimal 8.

The following example uses the Oct function to return the octal value of a number:

Dim MyOct
MyOct = Oct(4)     ' Returns 4.
MyOct = Oct(8)     ' Returns 10.
MyOct = Oct(459)   ' Returns 713.
