    Input value. The floating-point-input-value argument is the
    address of a floating-point number that contains this input
    value. For MTH$SQRT, floating-point-input-value specifies an
    F-floating number. For MTH$DSQRT, floating-point-input-value
    specifies a D-floating number. For MTH$GSQRT, floating-point-
    input-value specifies a G-floating number.
