Instead, MIN takes two arguments MIN (value1, value2) where value1 and value2 are any numeric scalars and/or arrays. ---------------------------------------------------------------- MIN Type: Verb (function: leaves results on the stack) Use: To obtain the minimum value of numeric scalars (adverbs, subscripted arrays, constants) and/or numeric arrays (adverbs). MIN requires 2 immediate arguments as MIN (value1, value2) where value1 and value2 are any numeric scalars or arrays. Examples: MIN (3.3, 2.3) is 2.3 MIN (-3.3, 2.3) is -3.3 and with LEVS = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,10; I = -6; APARM = 16 MIN (LEVS, I) is -6.0 MIN (LEVS, 43) is 1.0 MIN (LEVS, APARM) is 1.0 Adverbs: none. ----------------------------------------------------------------
