Consists of the following routines:

BCDADD - The single precision BCD addition routine is the

basic component of the BCD arithmetic package. This

routine functions simply by masking out and adding together

corresponding BCD digits (i. e., four bits) and checking for

carry (i. e., when the sum of two four-bit numbers is greater

than 9 (1001)).

MPYBCD - This routine multiplies a single precision (three

digit) number times a double precision one to produce another

double precision number. Overflow is indicated in the link;

the arguments are not affected.

SUBBCD - One double precision BCD number is subtracted

from a second by this routine. It uses a 9's complement

routine and the double precision add routine.

DOLOUT - Special formats: ("$XXXX.YY ").

("XXXXXX "); (3 nonprinting data codes); ("XXX ").
