Parameter
Return value
Returns the natural logarithm value as a double precision real number.
Description
Gets the value of the natural logarithm of the expression specified in the <expression> parameter.
In the <expression> parameter, specify a positive number.
If an incorrect data type is specified for a parameter, a "Type mismatch" error will occur.
If a non-existent number, numerical value, or combination of data types or values is specified for a parameter,
an "Illegal function call" error will occur.
If a value is assigned to the return value variable or the variable is not used in an expression, a "Syntax error"
error will occur.
If the format is written incorrectly, such as writing the macro function name incorrectly, omitting a comma, or
omitting a half-width space, a "Syntax error" error will occur.
