HELPLIB.HLB  —  RTL Routines, LIB$  LIB$EMODS_
    (Alpha and I64 only.) The Extended Multiply and Integerize
    routine (IEEE S-Floating-Point Values) allows higher-level
    language users to perform accurate range reduction of IEEE S-
    floating arguments.

1  –  Returns

    OpenVMS usage:cond_value
    type:         longword (unsigned)
    access:       write only
    mechanism:    by value

2  –  Arguments

 floating-point-multiplier

    OpenVMS usage:floating_point
    type:         IEEE S_floating
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by reference

    The multiplier. The floating-point-multiplier argument is the
    address of an IEEE S-floating number containing the number.

 multiplier-extension

    OpenVMS usage:byte_unsigned
    type:         byte (unsigned)
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by reference

    The left-justified multiplier-extension bits. The multiplier-
    extension argument is the address of an unsigned byte containing
    these multiplier extension bits.

 floating-point-multiplicand

    OpenVMS usage:floating_point
    type:         IEEE S_floating
    access:       read only
    mechanism:    by reference

    The multiplicand. The floating-point-multiplicand argument is an
    IEEE S-floating number.

 integer-portion

    OpenVMS usage:longword_signed
    type:         longword (signed)
    access:       write only
    mechanism:    by reference

    The integer portion of the result. The integer-portion argument
    is the address of a signed longword integer containing the
    integer portion of the result.

 fractional-portion

    OpenVMS usage:floating_point
    type:         IEEE S_floating
    access:       write only
    mechanism:    by reference

    The fractional portion of the result. The fractional-portion
    argument is the address of an IEEE S-floating number containing
    the fractional portion of the result.
