*Example*

[source.merge.styled,esql]
----
include::{esql-specs}/ints.csv-spec[tag=to_unsigned_long-str]
----
[%header.monospaced.styled,format=dsv,separator=|]
|===
include::{esql-specs}/ints.csv-spec[tag=to_unsigned_long-str-result]
|===

Note that in this example, the last conversion of the string isn't possible.
When this happens, the result is a *null* value. In this case a _Warning_ header is added to the response.
The header will provide information on the source of the failure:

`"Line 1:133: evaluation of [TO_UL(str3)] failed, treating result as null. Only first 20 failures recorded."`

A following header will contain the failure reason and the offending value:

`"java.lang.NumberFormatException: Character f is neither a decimal digit number, decimal point,
+ "nor "e" notation exponential mark."`
