INTRINSIC Attribute and Statement
The INTRINSIC attribute allows the specific name of an intrinsic procedure to be used as an
actual argument. (Not all specific names can be used as actual arguments. For more information,
see Table 9-1.)
The INTRINSIC attribute can be specified in a type declaration statement or an INTRINSIC
statement, and takes one of the following forms:
Type Declaration Statement:
type, [att-ls,] INTRINSIC [, att-ls] [::] in-pro [, in-pro]...
Statement:
INTRINSIC in-pro [, in-pro]...
type
Is a data type specifier.
att-ls
Is an optional list of attribute specifiers.
in-pro
Is the name of an intrinsic procedure.
Rules and Behavior
In a type declaration statement, only functions can be declared INTRINSIC. However, you can use
the INTRINSIC statement to declare subroutines, as well as functions, to be intrinsic.
