I regret there is no simple trick (like fix/float) for duration according to
the current language definition. However, try and see if:
DCL d Duration, i Integer;
i := <TYPE Duration>fix(d);
works. This may work because in earlier versions of SDL Duration inherited
its properties from Real.
The obvious addition to SDL that is needed is an operator for Duration (and
for Time):
real(THIS Duration) -> Real;
real(THIS Time) -> Real;
and Real also needs and operator
real(THIS Real) -> Real;
