long, short − integer object conversion

SYNTAX

integer*4 function long(int2)

integer*4 int4

DESCRIPTION

These functions provide conversion between short and long integer objects.  The long function is useful when constants are used in calls to library routines and the code is to be compiled with “−I2”.  The short function is useful in similar context when an otherwise long object must be passed as a short integer.
