MC-Basic:CASTLOCATION
Creates and returns a generic location-type point, using the robot type given by the second, long-type argument, whereas coordinate values are taken from the first argument. If the first argument is a scalar, the resulting point will be composed of identical coordinates. Using an array as first argument will result in a point composed of the first "number-of-coordinates" (determined by the robot type) array elements.
Syntax
<location_variable> = castlocation (<long_scalar_expression>, <long_expression>)
<location_variable> = castlocation (<double_scalar_expression>, <long_expression>)
<location_variable> = castlocation (<long_array>, <long_expression>)
<location_variable> = castlocation (<double_array>, <long_expression>)

Limitations
Only a single-dimension array can be used as argument.
Number of array elements must be equal or greater than number of coordinates.
Examples
GenLocation = CASTLOCATION(0.5, TYPE_XYZ) ? CASTLOCATION(ArrayOf6Longs, TYPE_XYZR)
