int16 to long :)

Did you try typecasting? Here is the syntax:

   For eg:

   Uint16 i;

   volatile long Li;

Li = (volatile long) i;

Hope this helps!

It works! :D Sorry for this simple question but I´m new in programming and never heard of typecasting. Thank you!

One additonal question: I need to convert the int-value to a long-value for the "connection" between two assembly- macros (PID-Controller and DACDRV_RAMP.asm). My problem is, that the output of the PID-Controller is a pointer to an integer and the input of DACDRV_RAMP is a pointer to a long value. Now I solve the problem this way:

CNTL_PID_Out1 = &Irefint; // pointer CNTL_PID_Out1 "connect" to Irefint (Both integer)
DACDRV_RAMP_In2=&Iref; // pointer DACDRV_RAMP_In2 "connect" to Iref (Both volatile long)

In a CPU-timer- based task with a period of 1ms I convert the int-value "Irefint" to the long-value "Iref" this way:
Iref=(long)(Irefint); // Typecast: Iref gets the value of Irefint, but in long ;)
Iref=Iref*256; // Scaling

The problem with this is, that the value of "Iref" is updated only every millisecond. It would be perfect to solve this problem that way, that "Iref" and "Irefint" are connected without time loss (by pointer). Is there any way to do this?

I am not sure how this would take 1ms to convert Irefint to long value "Iref" unless you change this as a part of big loop. If you are in a loop, you don't need to assign the address of Irefint and Iref to their corresponding variable each time in a loop. Keep these two statements outside the loop.
