Transfer of sign - from FORTRAN. The result is of the same type and kind as a. Its value is the abs(a) of a, if b is greater than or equal positive zero; and -abs(a), if b is less than or equal to negative zero. Example a = sign_apsim (30,-2) ! a is assigned the value -30

sign_apsim(a, b)

Arguments

a

value 1

b

value 2
