I had been unaware of the SIGNED BiF. I find the examples
in the Language Ref. inadequate:
SIGNED(10) has value '10'
SIGNED(-10) has value '-10'^M&A SETA 10
&C SETC '&A'
&A SETA -10
&C SETC '&A'
&A has value 10
&C has value '10'
&A has value -10
&C has value '10' (unsigne)
It would be valuable to have a few more lines
with the argument a SETA symbol such as:
&A SETA -10
&C SETC 'SIGNED(&A)' Apostrophes?
&C has value '-10' (signed) (Or is it yet unsigned?)
I'd submit a Feedback, but I can't find the web page.
