Available in version 5.2.0 and later.

Prototype

	function tosigned (
		input_val  : any kind of 8/16/32/64 integers.   
	)

	return_val [dimsizes(input_val)] :  signed 8/16/32/64 integers.

Arguments

A variable of any kind of 8/16/32/64 integers.

Return value

Returns corresponding 8/16/32/64 integers.

Description

This function converts any kind of 8/16/32/64 integers to its corresponding signed integers. If there is any missing value, it will be converted as well.
