(Alpha and I64 only.) The Extended Multiply and Integerize
routine (IEEE S-Floating-Point Values) allows higher-level
language users to perform accurate range reduction of IEEE S-
floating arguments.
Format
LIB$EMODS floating-point-multiplier ,multiplier-extension
,floating-point-multiplicand ,integer-portion
,fractional-portion
OpenVMS usage:cond_value
type: longword (unsigned)
access: write only
mechanism: by value
floating-point-multiplier
OpenVMS usage:floating_point
type: IEEE S_floating
access: read only
mechanism: by reference
The multiplier. The floating-point-multiplier argument is the
address of an IEEE S-floating number containing the number.
multiplier-extension
OpenVMS usage:byte_unsigned
type: byte (unsigned)
access: read only
mechanism: by reference
The left-justified multiplier-extension bits. The multiplier-
extension argument is the address of an unsigned byte containing
these multiplier extension bits.
floating-point-multiplicand
OpenVMS usage:floating_point
type: IEEE S_floating
access: read only
mechanism: by reference
The multiplicand. The floating-point-multiplicand argument is an
IEEE S-floating number.
integer-portion
OpenVMS usage:longword_signed
type: longword (signed)
access: write only
mechanism: by reference
The integer portion of the result. The integer-portion argument
is the address of a signed longword integer containing the
integer portion of the result.
fractional-portion
OpenVMS usage:floating_point
type: IEEE S_floating
access: write only
mechanism: by reference
The fractional portion of the result. The fractional-portion
argument is the address of an IEEE S-floating number containing
the fractional portion of the result.
