NAME

cdbl - convert to double-precision

SYNOPSIS

v = cdbl(NumExpr)

DESCRIPTION

Cdbl converts the value specified by its argument into double-precision and returns the result.  The argument may be any numeric expression. 

EXAMPLE

The program

	a = 234.523
	rem a may be any numeric expression
	print cdbl(a)

produces

	243.5229949951172

Since the argument to cdbl is only accurate to three decimal places, the result is also accurate only to three places after rounding.
