1INCLAN: intrinsics - Inclan intrinsic functions The following functions can be used in FORTRAN-77 expressions in addition to the standard FORTRAN-77 intrinsic functions or anywhere on the command line in the form $(,,...) if there are parameters or in the form $ without parameters. In the alpha- betical list below, i and n denote integer expressions, and s and t denote character expressions. function result description -------- ------- --------------------------------------------------- cputime real CPU time in seconds since the start of the program date character current date in the form dd-mm-yy def(s) logical does a variable with name s exist and have a value different from NULL? exist(s) logical does a variable with name s exist? existfile(s) logical does a file with name s exist? external(s) character value of the external (i.e. non-local) variable with name s (even if it is hidden by a local variable with the same name), or a blank string if no external variable with this name exists. external(s,t) character value of the external (i.e. non-local) variable with name s (even if it is hidden by a local variable with the same name), or t if no external variable with this name exists. fitchisq real chi^2 value of the last linear least-squares fit fiterr(n) real standard deviation of the n-th fit parameter of the last linear least-squares fit fitpar(n) real optimal value of the n-th fit parameter of the last linear least-squares fit fitprob real probability that the chi^2 value of the last linear least-squares fit would be exceeded by chance getenv(s) character value of Unix environment variable with name s getpid integer Unix PID of current process global(s) character value of the global with name s (even if it is hidden by a local variable with the same name), or a blank string if no global variable with this name exists. global(s,t) character value of the global with name s (even if it is hidden by a local variable with the same name), or t if no global variable with this name exists. if(n,x1,x2) - argument x1 if the condition n is true, or x2 otherwise. The arguments x1 and x2 can have any type. length(s) integer number of elements of the variable with name s lenstr(s) integer length of string s (without trailing blanks) macro(s) logical does a macro with name s exist in the search path? match(s,t) logical does the string s match the string t? The string t may contain wildcards: an asterisk matches zero or more characters, and a question mark matches exactly one character. mtime(s) integer time of last modification (in seconds since a reference date) of the file with name s opened(s) logical is the file with name s open? plotx0, ploty0, plotx1, ploty1 real coordinates of the two reference points in the user coordinate system used for graphics rand real random number between 0 and 1 rand(i) real random number between 0 and 1, using seed i rand(i,n) real n-th random number between 0 and 1, using seed i time character current time in the form hh:mm:ss val(s) character value of the variable with name s, or a blank string if no variable with this name exists. val(s,t) character value of thevariable with name s, or t if no variable with this name exists. walltime integer wallclock time in s since the start of the program
