.help dr2tf Jun99 "Slalib Package" .nf SUBROUTINE slDRTF (NDP, ANGLE, SIGN, IHMSF) - - - - - - D R T F - - - - - - Convert an angle in radians to hours, minutes, seconds (double precision) Given: NDP i number of decimal places of seconds ANGLE d angle in radians Returned: SIGN c '+' or '-' IHMSF i(4) hours, minutes, seconds, fraction Notes: 1) NDP less than zero is interpreted as zero. 2) The largest useful value for NDP is determined by the size of ANGLE, the format of DOUBLE PRECISION floating-point numbers on the target machine, and the risk of overflowing IHMSF(4). For example, on the VAX, for ANGLE up to 2pi, 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 ANGLE may exceed 2pi. In cases where it does not, it is up to the caller to test for and handle the case where ANGLE is very nearly 2pi and rounds up to 24 hours, by testing for IHMSF(1)=24 and setting IHMSF(1-4) to zero.
