NopTAL privileged procedure

expression
is an INT, INT(32), FIXED(fpoint ), REAL, or REAL(64) expression.
If a FIXED expression has a nonzero fpoint, the compiler multiplies or divides the result by the
appropriate power of ten.
Example 247 $EFLT Routine
REAL(64) dbrlnum;
FIXED(3) fixnum := 12345.678F;
dbrlnum := $EFLT (fixnum); ! Return 12345678L-3
$EFLTR
$EFLTR converts its argument to a REAL(64) value and rounds the result.

expression
is an INT, INT(32), FIXED(fpoint ), REAL, or REAL(64) expression.
If a FIXED expression has a nonzero fpoint, the compiler multiplies or divides the result by the
appropriate power of ten.
Example 248 $EFLTR Routine
REAL(64) rndnum;
FIXED(3) fixnum := 12345.678F;
rndnum := $EFLTR (fixnum); ! Return rounded REAL(64) value
$EXCHANGE
$EXCHANGE exchanges the values of two variables of the same data type.
