Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     You can use the following FORTRAN intrinsic functions when
     entering a FORTRAN expression. Their primary use is to convert a
     variable or value from one type to another.
 
     Intrinsic Function       Argument Type     Result Type

   * CHAR( int )              int               char
     CMPLX( genA[,genB] )     int, real, cmp    cmp8
     DBLE( gen )              int, real, cmp    dbl
     DCMPLX( genA[,genB] )    int, real, cmp    cmp16
     DIMAG( cmp16 )           cmp16             dbl
     DREAL( cmp16 )           cmp16             dbl
     ICHAR( char )            char              int

   * The abbreviations for the argument and result types are described
     in the FORTRAN language help.
     See: ◄Intrinsic Argument Abbreviations►
 
   £ If the argument is COMPLEX*16, the result is DOUBLE PRECISION.
     If the argument is COMPLEX*8, the result is REAL*4.
