Description
WORD() is a numeric conversion function that converts numeric parameters
of the CALL command from double to integer values. WORD() is a
compatibility command and, therefore, not recommended. Both the CALL
command and the WORD() function are superseded by facilities provided by
the Extend System. Refer to the "Using the Extend System" chapter in
the Technical Reference Guide for more information.
