fpprecis.f90 - Set the contents of the floating point control word. Set the precision sub field of the word. Input: precis - Precision sub field desired in control word

SUBROUTINE fpprecis( precis ) USE MSFLIB ! ! ! ! Input argument INTEGER(2) precis Local variables INTEGER(2) tcontrol INTEGER(2) tprecis ! ! ! ! ! Two byte temporary control word ! Two byte temporary precision constant ! Two byte precision constant

Check for valid input precision constant Retain only precision bits Set to 64 precision bits if invalid input tprecis = IAND( precis, FPCW$MCW_PC ) SELECT CASE ( tprecis ) CASE( FPCW$24, FPCW$53, FPCW$64 ) CONTINUE CASE DEFAULT tprecis = FPCW$64 END SELECT

Get the current control word, clear precision bits, set new bits CALL GETCONTROLFPQQ( tcontrol ) tcontrol = IOR( IAND( tcontrol, NOT( FPCW$MCW_PC ) ), tprecis )

Set the new control word CALL SETCONTROLFPQQ( tcontrol ) end
