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

    The Raise a Complex Base to a Signed Longword Integer Exponent
    routines return the complex result of raising a complex base to
    an integer exponent.

    Format

      OTS$POWCJ  complex-base ,longword-integer-exponent

      OTS$POWCDJ_R3  complex-base ,longword-integer-exponent (VAX

                     only)

      OTS$POWCGJ_R3  complex-base ,longword-integer-exponent (VAX

                     only)

1 - Returns

    OpenVMS usage:complex_number
    type:         F_floating complex, D_floating complex, G_floating
                  complex
    access:       write only
    mechanism:    by value

    Complex result of raising a complex base to an integer exponent.
    OTS$POWCJ returns an F-floating complex number. OTS$POWCDJ_R3
    returns a D-floating complex number. OTS$POWCGJ_R3 returns a G-
    floating complex number. In each format, the result and base are
    of the same data type.

2 - Arguments

 complex-base

    OpenVMS usage:complex_number
    type:         F_floating complex, D_floating complex, G_floating
                  complex
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by value

    Complex base. The complex-base argument contains the complex
    base. For OTS$POWCJ, complex-base is an F-floating complex
    number. For OTS$POWCDJ_R3, complex-base is a D-floating complex
    number. For OTS$POWCGJ_R3, complex-base is a G-floating complex
    number.

 longword-integer-exponent

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

    Exponent. The longword-integer-exponent argument is a signed
    longword containing the exponent.
