NUMBER: F03/0033 TITLE: IEEE_VALUE() KEYWORDS: IEEE-754, IEEE_VALUE DEFECT TYPE: Interpretation STATUS: For consideration QUESTION: What does "Generate an IEEE value" in 14.9.2 mean? Fortran 2003 in 14.9.2 has: "Generate an IEEE value" without any explanation of what that means, nor any indication that it is defined elsewhere. ANSWER: 14.9 contains tables of procedures with a short description of each, modelled on 13.5. Each procedure is specified in 14.10 and the reader should have no difficulty in finding its specification there. EDITS: None. SUBMITTED BY: Fred Tydeman HISTORY: J3/05-112 m171 Submitted
