Converts a value of any data type to a Text value.

This function is similar to CStr in Visual Basic. The result of the conversion depends on the data type of <value>, as follows:

Boolean: The return value is “True” or “False” or their locale equivalents.

Categorical: The string is of the form "{1,2,0}", where the numbers are the values of the categories in <value> (formatted using digits only, ignoring the locale).

Date: The string contains the date formatted according to the locale.

Long or Double: The string contains the number formatted according to the locale.

NULL values: If <value> is NULL, the return value is an empty string ("").

Object: If the object has a default property, the value of that property is converted. Otherwise an error occurs.

Text: <value> is returned unchanged.

For an mrScriptBasic example of using CText, see Example 1: More than one response to a single response question.
