Examples
This example uses a numeric literal. The function returns the value 1.988291341907488.
LOG(97.34)
This example uses the column Length. If the column is 101.24, the function returns 2.005352136486217.
LOG(Length)
This example uses the variable Length. The variable must have a numeric data type or the expression must include an explicit cast to a numeric SSIS data type. If Length is 234.567, the function returns 2.370266913465859.
