An expression to be coerced. All types are valid.
Table 8-15 Derivation of the SPTR Bit Pattern | Parameter Type | Action |
|---|
| 1 if TRUE, 0 if FALSE. | | Right justify the original 16-bit value in 32 bits with zero fill. | | Transfer the original bit pattern unchanged. | | Transfer the low-order 32 bits of the address (offset part)
unchanged. The segment number or SID part of the address is discarded. | | Transfer the low-order 32 bits of the address (offset part). All
other parts of the address are discarded. | | 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.
