max(3F)                                                   max(3F)



     NAME
          max, max0, amax0, max1, amax1, dmax1 - Fortran maximum-value
          functions

     SYNOPSIS
          integer i, j, k, l
          real a, b, c, d
          double precision dp1, dp2, dp3

          l=max(i, j, k)
          c=max(a, b)
          d=max(a, b, c)
          k=max0(i, j)
          a=amax0(i, j, k)
          i=max1(a, b)
          d=amax1(a, b, c)
          dp3=dmax1(dp1, dp2)

     DESCRIPTION
          The maximum-value functions return the largest of their ar-
          guments; there may be any number of arguments.  max is the
          generic form which can be used for all data types and takes
          its return type from that of its arguments.  All arguments
          must be of the same type.  max0 returns the integer form of
          the maximum value of its integer arguments; amax0, the real
          form of its integer arguments; max1, the integer form of its
          real arguments; amax1, the real form of its real arguments;
          and dmax1, the double-precision form of its double-precision
          arguments.
