CHANGE INTRINSICS TO GENERIC FORM

Syntax:

[DO NOT] CHANGE INTRINSICS TO GENERIC FORM

Function:

Converts intrinsic functions to the generic forms. For example, DSIN, CSIN and CDSIN are all converted to SIN and the data type of the operation is inferred from context by the compiler.

CHANGE INTRINSICS TO GENERIC FORM is implied by the CHANGE SIZE commands. Conversion may be suppressed by specifying DO NOT CHANGE INTRINSICS TO GENERIC FORM.

Please note that there are rare occurrences where an intrinsic function is passed as an actual sub-program argument. When this occurs, the intrinsic sub-program passed will be the specific intrinsic which corresponds to the generic intrinsic name. The command CHECK ARGUMENTS may be used to detect cases where this may cause a problem.
