short(3f) — CX/UX 6.20



long(3F)                                                 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 conver-
     sion.

FILES
     /usr/lib/libF77.a

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