VMS Help RTL Routines, MTH$, MTH$CVT xA xA  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    The Convert an Array of Double-Precision Values routines convert
    a contiguous array of double-precision values to the destination
    data type and return the results as an array. MTH$CVT_DA_GA
    converts D-floating values to G-floating and MTH$CVT_GA_DA
    converts G-floating values to D-floating.

    Format

      MTH$CVT_DA_GA  floating-point-input-array

                     ,floating-point-dest-array [,array-size]

      MTH$CVT_GA_DA  floating-point-input-array

                     ,floating-point-dest-array [,array-size]

1 - Returns

    MTH$CVT_DA_GA and MTH$CVT_GA_DA return the address of the output
    array to the floating-point-dest-array argument.

2 - Arguments

 floating-point-input-array

    OpenVMS usage:floating_point
    type:         D_floating, G_floating
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by reference, array reference

    Input array of values to be converted. The floating-point-input-
    array argument is the address of an array of floating-point
    numbers. For MTH$CVT_DA_GA, floating-point-input-array specifies
    an array of D-floating numbers. For MTH$CVT_GA_DA, floating-
    point-input-array specifies an array of G-floating numbers.

 floating-point-dest-array

    OpenVMS usage:floating_point
    type:         G_floating, D_floating
    access:       write only
    mechanism:    by reference, array reference

    Output array of converted values. The floating-point-dest-array
    argument is the address of an array of floating-point numbers.
    For MTH$CVT_DA_GA, floating-point-dest-array specifies an array
    of G-floating numbers. For MTH$CVT_GA_DA, floating-point-dest-
    array specifies an array of D-floating numbers.

 array-size

    OpenVMS usage:longword_signed
    type:         longword (signed)
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by reference

    Number of array elements to be converted. The default value is 1.
    The array-size argument is the address of a longword containing
    this number of elements.
