Error function

Most Sirius $functions have been deprecated in favor of Object Oriented methods. There is currently no direct OO equivalent for the $Erf function.

The $Erf function returns the value:

hp0 font=chapn.
  • &thinsp.&'sub(x) &thinsp.&'sub(2)
    2&sol.&radic.&pi. &'sub(0)&int. &thinsp.e&'sup(-z) &thinsp.dz
ehp0.

Syntax

%num = $Erf(x)

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.
