Return maximum value
Note: Most Sirius $functions have been deprecated in favor of Object Oriented methods. There is currently no direct OO equivalent for the $Max function.
The $Max function returns the highest value from a list of as many as eight arguments.
Syntax
%num = $Max(x1,x2,x3,x4,x5,x6,x7,x8)
Omitted arguments to $Max are ignored.
Usage notes
- See the SIRFUNC EXEC parameter for an explanation of when this high-performance, high-precision version of the IBM mathematical function from the Sirius Mods is used, as opposed to the version of the $function in the Model 204 FUND or FUNDLE CSECT.
Examples
$MAX(-6, 5, 0, 4, 3, 7, -7, 1) = 7 $MAX(-6,4) = 4 $MAX(4,-6,70.3) = 70.3 $MAX(-6, ,-5) = -5 $MAX(-6,0,-5) = 0
