Elemental Intrinsic Function (Specific): Converts a character string to a REAL(8) value. This function cannot be passed as an actual argument.

result = DNUM (i)

i	(Input) Must be of type character.

Results

The result type is REAL(8). The result value is the double-precision real value represented by the character string i.

DNUM ("3.14159") has the value 3.14159 of type REAL(8).

The following sets x to 311.0:

  CHARACTER(3) i
  DOUBLE PRECISION x
  i = "311"
  x = DNUM(i)
