long(3F)

NAME

long, short − integer object conversion

SYNOPSIS

integer∗4 function long (int2)
integer∗2 int2 integer∗2 function short (int4)
integer∗4 int4

DESCRIPTION

These functions provide conversion between short and long integer objects. long is useful when constants are used in calls to library routines and the code is to be compiled with the −i2 option. short is useful in a similar context when an otherwise long object must be passed as a short integer.

See the descriptions of the %INT4 and %INT2 functions in the CX/UX Hf77 Fortran Reference Manual for alternate, more efficient functions designed especially for constant conversion.

NOTES

When compiling source with the -Qocs option, an explicit underscore needs to be added to the end of the routine names.
