HP FORTRAN 77/XL
NOTE The variable n refers to an integer number.
Floating point data may be stored in HP 3000 or IEEE Standard format:
• IEEE Standard floating point data is the default MPE XL NM (Native Mode) floating
point format.
• HP 3000 floating point data may also be created by explicit specification in NM. HP
3000 floating point data is the default in MPE XL CM (Compatibility Mode) or on an
MPE V-based system.
