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.  _L_o_n_g is useful when constants are used in  calls  to  library
       routines  and the code is to be compiled with ‘‘-i2’’.  _S_h_o_r_t is useful
       in similar context when an otherwise long object must be  passed  as  a
       short integer.
