func trans

Coerces an expression into a TRANS logical code pointer (LCPTR).

   trans (value)

   trans:trans (value:any)

Table 8-17 Derivation of the TRANS Bit Pattern

Parameter Type	Action
`BOOL`	0.1 if `TRUE`, 0.0 if `FALSE`.
`U16` `U32` `SPTR`	Set the SID part to zero. Right justify the original value in the low-order 32 bits of the offset part with zero fill.
`S16` `S32` `S64`	Set the SID part to zero. Right justify the original value in the low-order 32 bits of the offset part with sign extension.
`LONG` Class	Transfer both parts of the address unchanged.
`EADDR` `SADDR`	Transfer the SID part unchanged. Transfer the low-order 32 bits of the offset part.
`STR`	Transfer the ASCII bit pattern for the last eight characters in the string. Strings shorter than eight characters are treated as if they were extended on the left with nulls.

   %cmdebug > wl trans(12.304)

   TRANS %12.304

Coerce the simple long pointer into a TRANS logical code pointer.

   %cmdebug > wl trans(sys(24.630))

   TRANS %24.630

The coercion simply changes the type. Note that no complicated conversion or range checking is performed.
