Using Functions in RECAP Calculations

RECAP calcname[(s,e,i)][/format]=function  
(input1,...,inputn,'format2');

where:

calcname

Is the name you assign to the calculated value.

(s,e,i)

Specify a start (s), end (e), and increment (i) value for the column where you want the value displayed. If omitted, the value appears in all columns.

format

The format for the calculation is optional. The default is the format of the column. If the calculation consists of only the subroutine, make sure that the format of the subroutine output value (format2) agrees with the calculation format. If the calculation format is larger than the column width, the value displays in that column as asterisks (*).

function

Is the name of the function, up to eight characters long. It must be different from any row label and cannot contain any of the following special characters:

= -, / ()

input1, inputn

Are the input arguments for the call to the function. They may include numeric constants, alphanumeric literals, row and column references notation, E notation, or labels, or names of other RECAP calculations.

Make sure that the values being passed to the function agree in number and type with the arguments as coded in the function.

format2

Is the format of the return value, which must be enclosed in single quotation marks.
