| BOOL | 0.1 if TRUE, 0.0 if FALSE. |

| | |
| U16 | 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. |

Examples
%cmdebug > wl trans(12.304)
TRANS %12.304
Coerce the simple long pointer into a TRANS logical code pointer.
%cmdebug > wl trans(sys(24.630))
TRANS %24.630
The coercion simply changes the type. Note that no complicated
conversion or range checking is performed.
Limitations, Restrictions
none
