- The CCEEIILLIINNGG intrinsic function returns the least integer greater than
- or equal to its argument. It accepts the following argument:
-
- _a Must be of type real
-
- CCEEIILLIINNGG is an elemental function. The name of this intrinsic cannot
- be passed as an argument.

- On UNICOS systems, both execution speed and the number of bits used in
- mathematical operations are affected when compiling with
- ff9900 --OO ffaassttiinntt, which is the default setting. For more information on
- this, see the _C_F_9_0 _C_o_m_m_a_n_d_s _a_n_d _D_i_r_e_c_t_i_v_e_s _R_e_f_e_r_e_n_c_e _M_a_n_u_a_l,

- The result type is a default integer. The result has a value equal to
- the least integer greater than or equal to _a. The result is undefined
- if the system cannot represent this value in the default integer type.
