func s64

Coerces an expression into a signed 64-bit value.

   s64 (value)

   s64:s64 (value:any)

Table 8-13 Derivation of the S64 Bit Pattern

Parameter Type	Action
`BOOL`	1 if `TRUE`, 0 if `FALSE`.
`U16 U32 SPTR`	Right justify the original value in 64 bits with zero fill.
`S16 S32 S64`	Right justify the original value in 64 bits with sign extension.
`LONG` Class	Transfer the concatenation of the SID and offset parts.
`EADDR SADDR`	Transfer the offset part unchanged.
`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.
