max(3F)                                                   max(3F)



NAME
     max, max0, amax0, max1, amax1, dmax1, jmax0, imax0, ajmax0,
     aimax0, jmax1, imax1 - Fortran maximum-value functions

SYNOPSIS
     integer i, j, k, l
     integer*2 i2, j2, k2, l2
     real a, b, c, d
     double precision dp1, dp2, dp3

     l = max(i, j, k)
     l = max0(i, j, k)
     l = jmax0(i, j, k)
     i = max1(a, b)
     i = jmax1(a,b)

     l2 = max(i2, j2, k2)
     l2 = imax0(i2, j2, k2)
     l2 = max0(i2, j2, k2)
     l2 = imax1(a,b)

     c = max(a, b)
     d = max(a, b, c)
     d = amax1(a, b, c)
     a = amax0(i, j, k)
     a = ajmax0(i, j, k)
     a = amax0(i2, j2, k2)
     a = aimax0(i2, j2, k2)

     dp3 = dmax1(dp1, dp2)

DESCRIPTION
     The maximum-value functions return the largest of their
     arguments (of which there may be any number greater than
     one).  max is the generic form which can be used for all
     data types and takes its return type from that of its argu-
     ments (which must all be of the same type).  max0 returns
     the integer form of the maximum value of its integer argu-
     ments; amax0 the real form of its integer arguments; max1
     the integer form of its real arguments; amax1 the real form
     of its real arguments; and dmax1 the double-precision form
     of its double-precision arguments.

     The functions jmax, jmax1, imax0, imax1, ajmax0 and aimax0
     have been included to provide compatibility with other ven-
     dors and are not recommended for general use.
