Table 11-4 Derivation of the U32 Bit Pattern

Parameter Type Action
BOOL1 if TRUE, 0 if FALSE.
U16
S16
Right justify the original 16-bit value in 32 bits with zero fill.
U32
S32
SPTR
Transfer the original bit pattern unchanged.
S64Transfer the low-order 32 bits.
LONG Class
EADDR
SADDR
Transfer the low-order 32 bits of the offset part.
STRTransfer 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 u32( 1 )
   $1

   $nmdat > wl u32( ffff )
   $ffff

   $nmdat > wl u32( ffff ):"#"
   #65535

   $nmdat > wl u32( 1234abcd )
   $1234abcd

   $nmdat > wl u32( -1 )
   $ffff

   $nmdat > wl u32( ffffffff ):"#"
   #4294967295

   $nmdat > wl u32( 1234.5678 )
   $5678

   $nmdat > wl u32( true )
   $1

   $nmdat > wl u32( "ABCDEFG" )
   $44454647

   $nmdat > wl u32( prog(1.2) )
   $2
