- The MMAAXX, MMAAXX00, AAMMAAXX11, DDMMAAXX11, QQMMAAXX11, MMAAXX11, and AAMMAAXX00 intrinsic
- functions determine maximum values. MMAAXX is the generic name; the
- others are specifics. They accept the following arguments:
-
- _a_1,, _a_2,, _a_3,, ......
- The arguments must be all of type real or all of type integer.
- All arguments must have the same data type.
-
- The kind types of the arguments can differ. This is an extension
- to the Fortran standard.
-
- These are elemental intrinsic functions. The names of these
- intrinsics cannot be passed as arguments.

- 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,
- see _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 value of the result is that of the largest argument.
-
- MMAAXX accepts type real or integer and returns a result with the same
- type and kind type as its arguments.
-
- MMAAXX00 accepts and returns type integer.
-
- AAMMAAXX11 accepts and returns type single-precision real.
-
- DDMMAAXX11 accepts and returns type double-precision real.
-
- QQMMAAXX11 accepts and returns type quad-precision real.
-
- MMAAXX11 accepts type real and returns type default integer.
-
- AAMMAAXX00 accepts type integer and returns type default real.
-
- The data type and kind type for single-precision, double-precision,
- and quad-precision values differ depending on your platform. For
- platform-specific information, see the TERMINOLOGY section of the
- IINNTTRROO__IINNTTRRIINN(3I) man page.
