Library /sys$common/syshlp/helplib.hlb  —  CPML  pow()  Description
    pow() raises a floating-point base x to a floating-point exponent
    y. The value of pow(x,y) is computed as e**(y ln(x)) for positive
    x. If x is 0 or negative, see your language reference manual.

    Passing a NaN input value to pow() produces a NaN result for
    nonzero values of y. For pow(NaN,0), see your language reference
    manual.
