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

    The Raise a Floating-Point Base to an Unsigned Longword Integer
    Exponent routines raise a floating-point base to an unsigned
    longword integer exponent.

    Format

      OTS$POWRLU  floating-point-base ,unsigned-lword-int-exponent

      OTS$POWDLU  floating-point-base ,unsigned-lword-int-exponent

      OTS$POWGLU  floating-point-base ,unsigned-lword-int-exponent

      OTS$POWHLU_R3  floating-point-base ,unsigned-lword-int-exponent

                     (VAX only)

1 - Returns

    OpenVMS usage:floating_point
    type:         F_floating, D_floating, G_floating, H_floating
    access:       write only
    mechanism:    by value

    Result of raising a floating-point base to an unsigned longword
    integer exponent. OTS$POWRLU returns an F-floating number.
    OTS$POWDLU returns a D-floating number. OTS$POWGLU returns a
    G-floating number.

    On VAX systems, OTS$POWHLU_R3 returns an H-floating number.

2 - Arguments

 floating-point-base

    OpenVMS usage:floating_point
    type:         F_floating, D_floating, G_floating, H_floating
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by value

    Floating-point base. The floating-point-base argument contains
    the value of the base. For OTS$POWRLU, floating-point-base is
    an F-floating number. For OTS$POWDLU, floating-point-base is a
    D-floating number. For OTS$POWGLU, floating-point-base is a G-
    floating number. For OTS$POWHLU_R3, floating-point-base is an
    H-floating number.

 unsigned-lword-int-exponent

    OpenVMS usage:longword_unsigned
    type:         longword (unsigned)
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by value

    Integer exponent. The unsigned-lword-int-exponent argument
    contains the value of the unsigned longword integer exponent.
