There is indeed.  Look up functions CLng and CInt in the language reference
manual.

How did I find this out?  By browsing the manual at random.  Is there a
reference to these functions in the programmer's guide? No, or at least not
that I could find.  Grrr. Let's hope the 2.0 documentation is better.
