Any values above or below the maximum representable values of -32767,32768 are set to the closest representable value. Note that this function uses rounding towards zero [see the fix() function] when translating double or float data; to avoid potentially unexpected results, use short(round(data)) which will force rounding towards the nearest integer. This function is equivalent to format(object=VAL, format=SHORT).
