DBLE - Converts to double-precision real

SYNOPSIS

DBLE ([A=]a)

IMPLEMENTATION

Cray Linux Environment (CLE)

STANDARDS

Fortran

DESCRIPTION

This intrinsic function converts the specified type to double precision. This is an elemental intrinsic functions. It accepts the following arguments:

a: Must be type integer, real, or complex.

If a is of type complex, an approximation of the real part of a is returned. As much precision as possible is retained.

NOTES

The name of this intrinsic function cannot be passed as arguments.

RETURN VALUES

DBLE returns the double-precision equivalent of its argument.
