Syntax

   eaddr (value)

Formal Declaration

   eaddr:eaddr (value:any)

Parameters

value: An expression to be coerced. All types are valid.

Table 8-4 Derivation of the EADDR 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 64 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 64 bits of the offset part with sign extension.
`LONG` Class	Transfer the SID part unchanged. Right justify the original offset part in the low-order 64 bits of the offset part with zero fill.
`EADDR SADDR`	Transfer both parts of the address unchanged.
`STR`	Transfer the ASCII bit pattern for the last twelve characters in the string. Strings shorter than twelve characters are treated as if they were extended on the left with nulls.

Examples

   $nmdat > wl eaddr( 1 )

   $0.1



   $nmdat > wl eaddr( ffff )

   $0.ffff



   $nmdat > wl eaddr( 1234abcd )

   $0.1234abcd



   $nmdat > wl eaddr( -1 )

   $0.ffffffffffffffff



   $nmdat > wl eaddr( 1234.5678 )

   $1234.5678



   $nmdat > wl eaddr( true )

   $0.1



   $nmdat > wl eaddr( prog(1.2) )

   $1.2
