function parse(value: string): decimal
Parse the string representation of a number into a number. The string representation consists of an optional sign, '+' or '-', followed by a sequence of zero or more decimal digits ("the integer"), optionally followed by a fraction, optionally followed by an exponent. The fraction consists of a decimal point followed by zero or more decimal digits. The string must contain at least one digit in either the integer or the fraction. The number formed by the sign, the integer and the fraction is referred to as the significand. The exponent consists of the character 'e' or 'E' followed by one or more decimal digits. Example:
uses core.number as nb;
export procedure onAfterDelete()
begin
var number1 := nb.parse('123');
var number2 := nb.parse('+123');
var number3 := nb.parse('-123');
var number4 := nb.parse('0.00123');
var number5 := nb.parse('1.23E3');
var number6 := nb.parse('1.23E+3');
var number7 := nb.parse('1.23E-4');
end
Parameters :
value: a String containing the number representation to be parsed
Return :
@return the number value represented by the argument, or null if the string does not contain a parsable number.

function parseInt(value: string): decimal
Parses the string argument as a signed decimal integer. The characters in the string must all be decimal digits, except that the first character may be an ASCII minus sign - to indicate a negative value or an ASCII plus sign +to indicate a positive value. Example:
uses core.number as nb;
export procedure onAfterDelete()
begin
var number1 := nb.parseInt('123');
var number2 := nb.parseInt('+123');
var number3 := nb.parseInt('-123');
end
Parameters :
value: a String containing the int representation to be parsed
Return :
the integer value represented by the argument in decimal, or null if the string does not contain a parsable integer.
