Arguments

1:     $\mathbf{optstr}$ – Character(*)Input

On entry: a string identifying a real-valued optional parameter (as described in Section 12 in e05jbf).

2:     $\mathbf{rvalue}$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp)Output

On exit: if $\mathbf{ifail}=\mathbf{0}$ on exit, rvalue contains the real value associated with the optional parameter in optstr.

3:     $\mathbf{comm}\left(\mathbf{lcomm}\right)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayCommunication Array

On entry: communication data as initialized by e05jaf.

4:     $\mathbf{lcomm}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the dimension of the array comm as declared in the (sub)program from which e05jlf is called.

Constraint: $\mathbf{lcomm}\ge 100$.

5:     $\mathbf{ifail}$ – IntegerInput/Output

On entry: ifail must be set to $0$, $-1\text{ or }1$. If you are unfamiliar with this argument you should refer to Section 3.4 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for details.

For environments where it might be inappropriate to halt program execution when an error is detected, the value $-1\text{ or }1$ is recommended. If the output of error messages is undesirable, then the value $1$ is recommended. Otherwise, if you are not familiar with this argument, the recommended value is $0$. When the value $-\mathbf{1}\text{ or }\mathbf{1}$ is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.

On exit: $\mathbf{ifail}=\mathbf{0}$ unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).
