The ifx_int8tolong() function

The file int8tolong.ec in the demo directory contains the following sample program.

/*
   * ifx_int8tolong.ec *

   The following program converts three strings to INT8 types and
   converts the INT8 type values to C long type values.
   Then the values are displayed.
