Sorry for such simple question - Is there any function that translates string to Integer?

I have &Rec='10'. I need to have 10 in &Re_P. How I can do it?

I have tried EDIT(&Rec,'999') bit it returns AXX format? I am wrong? It seems EDIT works in DEFINE, but it does not work in -SET ?

I will try ATODBL

In Dialogue Manager, a string that is set with quotes is automatically treated as integer - if the value is numeric.

Try this simple test:

-SET &REC = '10';

-SET &RES = &REC * 5;

-TYPE &RES

Another option is:
-SET &REC = '10';
-SET &RES = &REC.EVAL ;

and EDIT in a DEFINE , if you just want a number out of a text, there's no mask
FRED/I5 = EDIT ( '12345');
or
ETHEL/A5 = '12345';
FRED/I5 = EDIT(ETHEL);
