Example

ROW str1 = "2147483648", str2 = "2147483648.2", str3 = "foo"
| EVAL long1 = TO_LONG(str1), long2 = TO_LONG(str2), long3 = TO_LONG(str3)

str1:keyword	str2:keyword	str3:keyword	long1:long	long2:long	long3:long
2147483648	2147483648.2	foo	2147483648	2147483648	null

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 1:113: evaluation of [TO_LONG(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: For input string: "foo""
