Syntax
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.
| If number is | Oct returns |
| Null | Null |
| Empty | Zero (0) |

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.
