func s32

Coerces an expression into a signed 32-bit value.

Syntax

   s32 (value)

Formal Declaration

   s32:s32 (value:any)

Parameters

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

Table 8-12 Derivation of the S32 Bit Pattern

Parameter Type	Action
`BOOL`	1 if `TRUE`, 0 if `FALSE`.
`U16`	Right justify the original 16-bit value in 32 bits with zero fill.
`S16`	Right justify the original 16-bit value in 32 bits with sign extension.
`U32 S32 SPTR`	Transfer the original bit pattern unchanged.
`S64`	Transfer the low-order 32 bits.
`LONG` Class `EADDR SADDR`	Transfer the low-order 32 bits of the offset part.
`STR`	Transfer the ASCII bit pattern for the last four characters in the string. Strings shorter than four characters are treated as if they were extended on the left with nulls.

Examples

   $nmdat > wl s32( 1 )

   $1



   $nmdat > wl s32( ffff )

   $ffff



   $nmdat > wl s32( ffff ):"#"

   #65535



   $nmdat > wl s32( 1234abcd )

   $1234abcd



   $nmdat > wl s32( -1 )

   $ffffffff



   $nmdat > wl s32( ffffffff ):"#"

   $#-1



   $nmdat > wl s32( 1234.5678 )

   $5678



   $nmdat > wl s32( true )

   $1



   $nmdat > wl s32( "ABCDEFG" )

   $44454647



   $nmdat > wl s32( prog(1.2) )

   $2
