For example, on the VAX, for DAYS up to 1D0, the available floating-point precision corresponds roughly to NDP=12. However, the practical limit is NDP=9, set by the capacity of the 32-bit integer IHMSF(4). 3) The absolute value of DAYS may exceed 1D0. In cases where it does not, it is up to the caller to test for and handle the case where DAYS is very nearly 1D0 and rounds up to 24 hours, by testing for IHMSF(1)=24 and setting IHMSF(1-4) to zero.
