the output of my program is a 4x1 matrix. I want two of the values to be format short and two of the values to be format long. Is this possible?

Anything is possible. Depending on the software you are using it may or may not be practical.

 

The context of what you're trying eludes me. What exactly does your program output? Can you post the program? More input....
