AsInteger
property AsInteger: Integer read write;
Example
procedure ScriptEvent(var Value: Variant);
begin
Locals['RetryCount'].AsInteger := 3;
Value := Locals['RetryCount'].AsInteger;
end;
Usage
AsInteger reads the raw Variant as 32-bit Integer with zero on caught coercion failure and writes a raw Integer directly.
Additional Technical Info
If VarIsOrdinal(FValue) is true, the getter assigns the raw Variant to Integer. Otherwise it attempts Delphi Variant coercion inside try/except. Overflow, Null and other failed conversions return 0 rather than propagating.
Zero therefore does not distinguish failure from a real value. Fractions/strings use Delphi coercion and locale rules; values outside the 32-bit Integer range collapse to zero when assignment raises.
The setter writes an Integer directly to FValue, bypassing Value validation and encryption. The getter also reads raw content, so encrypted variables are not safely supported through this alias.
For empty-string handling, AsInteger0 adds a separate precheck but retains the same ambiguity.
