INTRINSICS 

The intrinsic specifications contain the following information:

 *  The intrinsic name.  The word intrinsic, in italics, directly under
    the intrinsic name identifies it as an intrinsic.

 *  A brief summary of the function of the intrinsic.

 *  The complete intrinsic call description, highlighted by being
    enclosed in a box.  The format is:

                   LV
          SETDUMP(flags);

    Required parameters, such as flags, are shown in bold face italics.

    Optional parameters are shown in regular italics.  Superscripts (see
    LV above) are used to denote the types of parameters and whether they
    must be passed by value, instead of by reference (the default case).
    See Section I of the MPE Intrinsics Reference Manual for a discussion
    of passing parameters by value and by reference.

    Superscripts have the following meanings:

    BA               Byte array

    DA               Double array

    I                Integer

    L                Logical

    LV               Logical by value

    O-V              Optional variable

In addition to the superscripts shown over the parameters, the
superscript O-V is shown following some parameters to denote option 
variable.  Option variable means that the intrinsic contains optional 
parameters.
