Using System Intrinsics MPE/iX system intrinsics are procedures and functions written in HP Pascal/iX. The system intrinsics handle individual programming operations and are invoked by procedure or function calls. This chapter describes how to define and call the system intrinsics. FORTRAN 77 intrinsic functions are part of the FORTRAN 77 library in acordance with the ANSI and MIL-STD-1753 standards. The FORTRAN 77 intrinsics do not have to be defined as system intrinsics. Do not confuse MPE/iX system intrinsics with FORTRAN 77 intrinsics; this chapter only discusses system intrinsics. Refer to the HP FORTRAN 77/iX Reference Manual for a description of the FORTRAN 77 intrinsics. Refer to the MPE/iX Intrinsics Reference Manual and the HP FORTRAN 77/iX Reference Manual for a full description of the system intrinsics. In addition to the system intrinsics defined in the MPE/iX Intrinsics Reference Manual, each subsystem (such as VPLUS, HPIMAGE, etc.) can define procedures or functions in the SYSINTR file. You can also create intrinsic declarations for your own procedures or functions via the HP Pascal/iX compiler using the BUILDINT directive.
