11 Function: takes an ASCII representation of a floating point number and
12 returns a code indicating the possibility of a conversion error.  (See
13 also cv_float_ and cv_float_double_.)
14 
15 
16 Usage (with double precision):
17 declare cv_float_check_ entry (char(*) fixed bin(35)) returns
18      (float bin);
19 a = cv_float_check_ (string);
20 
21 Usage (with single precision):
22 declare cv_float_check_ entry (char(*) fixed bin(35)) returns
23      (float bin);
24 a = cv_float_check_ (string);
25 
26 
27 Arguments:
28 string
29    is the string to be converted.  (Input)
30 code
31    is a code that equals 0 if no error has occurred; otherwise, it is
32    the index of the character of the input string that terminated the
33    conversion.  See "Note" below.
34 a
35    is the result of the conversion.  (Output)
36 
37 Notes:
38 Code is not a standard status code.  Therefore, it can not be passed to
39 com_err_ and other subroutines that accept only standard status codes.
