The parameter can either be entered directly as a number or as a Variable

type then it will be automatically converted to it (see Type conversion
"TextToNumber"). If this is not possible then " invalid " will be returned as the
result of this operation.

Only the whole number part will be used for all parameters.

Date/Time cannot be transferred as a parameter here.

decimal places; however, e.g. a comparative operation will be carried out with
the exact value!
