func pub
Coerces an expression into a PUB logical code pointer (LCPTR).
Syntax
pub (value)
During the evaluation of the parameter to this function, the search path
used for procedure name lookups is limited to the account library file
(PUB).
Formal Declaration
pub:pub (value:any)
Parameters
value An expression to be coerced. All types are valid.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| BOOL | 0.1 if TRUE, 0.0 if FALSE. |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| U16s | Set the high-order 32 bits (SID or segment part) to zero. |
| S16 | Right justify the original 16-bit value in the low-order 32 |
| | bits (offset part) with zero fill. |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| U32 | Set the high-order 32 bits (SID or segment part) to zero. |
| S32 | Transfer the original bit pattern into the low-order 32 bits |
| SPTR | (offset part) unchanged. |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| LPTR | Transfer both parts of the address unchanged. |

| STR | Transfer the ASCII bit pattern for the last eight characters |
| | in the string. Strings shorter than eight characters are |
| | treated as if they were extended on the left with nulls. |

Examples
%cmdebug > wl pub(12.304)
PUB %12.304
Coerce the simple long pointer into a PUB logical code pointer.
%cmdebug > wl pub( sort )
PUB %3.2632
Print the address of the procedure named sort. Note that the search path
used for procedure name lookups is restricted to the account library
(PUB).
%cmdebug > wl pub(sys(24.630))
PUB %24.630
The coercion simply changes the associated logical file. The pointer's
bit pattern remains unchanged.
$nmdat > wl pub( 1 )
PUB $0.1
$nmdat > wl pub( ffff )
PUB $0.ffff
$nmdat > wl pub( 1234abcd )
PUB $0.1234abcd
$nmdat > wl pub( -1 )
PUB $0.ffffffff
$nmdat > wl pub( 1234.5678 )
PUB $1234.5678
$nmdat > wl pub( true )
PUB $0.1
$nmdat > wl pub( "ABCDEFG" )
PUB $414243.44454647
$nmdat > wl pub( prog(1.2) )
PUB $1.2
