Hello, Some FORTRAN 77 compilers (e.g. IBM's VS FORTRAN) allow the use of the generic form of the intrinsic function IMAG. Others (e.g. CDC NOS/VE FTN and FTN2 compilers) don't. Could anyone tell me if the usage of IMAG as a generic name (for AIMAG) is according to ANSI 77 or is it some vendors' extension. Zvika Bar-Deroma dept. of Aeronautical eng.

There is no generic name corresponding to the specific name AIMAG in the standard. The point of having generic names is to allow an intrinsic to apply to more than one data type, but that isn't possible with AIMAG. The argument type can only be COMPLEX. -- Dave Seaman ags@j.cc.purdue.edu
