The Intrinsic Function module allows you to reference a data item whose value is derived automatically at the time of reference during the execution of the object program.
If your program uses intrinsic functions, you will also require the floating-point module. See your COBOL system documentation about building and linking for details of run-time system support modules.
In the Intrinsic Function module, a function is a temporary data item whose value is determined at the time the function is referenced during the execution of a statement. A function-name is a COBOL word that is one of a specified list of COBOL words which can be used in COBOL source programs. (See the section Definitions of Functions later in this chapter.)
The definition of each function specifies:
and national
functions, the size of the returned value
A function-identifier is used by the programmer to reference a function in the Procedure Division of a COBOL source program. (See the section Function-Identifier in the chapter Concepts of the COBOL Language.)
The value returned by a function is considered to be a data value. A mechanism is provided at run time to assign a data value to a function when it is referenced. In order to determine the function's value, the evaluation mechanism requires access to data values provided by the referencing program. These data values are provided by specifying parameters, known as arguments, when referencing the function. Specific functions can place constraints on these arguments, such as range, and so on. If, at the time a function is referenced, the arguments specified for that reference do not have values that comply with the specified constraints, then the returned value for the function is undefined.
Arguments specify values used in the evaluation of a function. Arguments are specified in the function-identifier. These arguments can be specified as identifiers, as arithmetic expressions, or as literals. The definition of a function specifies the number of arguments required, which can be zero, one, or more. For some functions, the number of arguments which can be specified is variable. The order in which arguments are specified in a function-identifier determines the interpretation given to each value in arriving at the function value. Arguments may be required to have a certain class or a subset of a certain class. The four types of argument are:
The rules for a function can place constraints on the permissible values for arguments, in order to accurately determine the function's value. If, at the time a function is referenced, the arguments specified for that reference do not have values within the permissible range, the returned value for the function is undefined.
When the definition of a function permits an argument to be repeated a variable number of times, a table can be referenced by specifying the data-name and any qualifiers that identify the table, followed immediately by subscripting where one or more of the subscripts is the word ALL.
When ALL is specified as a subscript, the effect is as if each table element associated with that subscript position were specified. The order of the implicit specification of each occurrence is from left to right, with the first (or leftmost) specification being the identifier with each subscript specified by the word ALL replaced by one, the next specification being the same identifier with the rightmost subscript specified by the word ALL incremented by one.
This process continues with the rightmost ALL subscript being incremented by one for each implicit specification until the rightmost ALL subscript has been incremented through its range of values. If any additional ALL subscripts exist, the subscript immediately to the left of the rightmost ALL subscript is incremented by one, the rightmost ALL subscript is reset to one and the process of varying the rightmost ALL subscript is repeated. The ALL subscript to the left of the rightmost ALL subscript is incremented through its range of values. For each additional ALL subscript this process is repeated in turn until the leftmost ALL subscript has been incremented by one through its range of values.
If the ALL subscript is associated with an OCCURS DEPENDING ON clause, the range of values is determined by the object of the OCCURS DEPENDING ON clause. The evaluation of an ALL subscript must result in at least one argument, otherwise the result of the reference to the function-identifier is undefined.
01 Test-Fields. 10 OT-Elem PIC 9(02). 10 Arr. 15 Ind occurs 5 times PIC 9(02). compute OT-Elem = function sum (IND(ALL)).
is equivalent to specifying
compute OT-Elem = function sum (IND(1), IND(2), IND(3), IND(4), IND(5)).
The ALL subscript can also be used with a table that has a variable number of elements as in the following example:
01 Test-Group. 03 OT-Elem pic 9(15) binary. 03 table-length pic s9(9) binary. 03 array. 05 Ind pic 9(2) occurs 1 to 200 times depending on table length ... move 100 to table-length. compute OT-Elem = function sum (Ind(ALL))
These statements will sum the first 100 elements of the table. At the time the function is referenced, the number of elements specified by table-length determines that number of elements that are added.
Data item functions are elementary data items and return alphanumeric,
national,
numeric or integer values. Data item functions are treated as elementary data items and cannot be receiving operands. The three types of data item functions are:
or as the source of a MOVE statement.
or as the source of a MOVE statement.
The Gregorian calendar is used in the date conversion functions. The starting date of Monday, January 1, 1601, was chosen to establish a simple relationship between the Standard Date and DAY-OF-WEEK; that is, the integer date 1 was a Monday, DAY-OF-WEEK 1.
For example, the statement:
compute DoW = function rem (function integer-of-date (date-field) , 7)
returns the day of week for a given date, where 0 is Sunday, 1 is Monday, and so on.
Trigonometry deals with the relationships among the sides of a triangle and its angles. An angle can be measured in degrees, radians or Gon (grad). Since a computer usually generates trigonometric values by series approximation, the angle is specified in radians when used as the argument to the SIN, COS, and TAN functions or as the returned value fromthe ASIN, ACOS, and ATAN functions.
A radian is an arc of a circle whose length is equal to the circle's
radius. Since the relationship between a circle's radius and circumference
is C = 2 * P * r
, and there are 360 degrees in a
circle, we can derive from 360 = 2 * P * r
, that the
values for conversion are:
1 radian = 180/P = 57.295780 degrees
1 degree = P/180 = 0.01745329 radians.
Another scale that is sometimes used to measure angles is Gon, also known as grad. The values for conversion are:
1 radian = 200/P = 63.661977 Gon (grad)
1 Gon (grad) = P/200 = 0.01570796 radians.
