Resize function not working

[Altera_Forum]

I'm trying to use the resize function in order to convert a signed 12 bit value to a 31 bit value. But whenever I'm using the resize function the output value is 0. But when I'm manually converting it, it's getting converted correctly. Can anyoone please help me with this ?  

 Thanks,
