Arguments

1:     $\mathbf{im}\left(\mathbf{ldm},\mathbf{n2}\right)$ – Integer arrayInput

On entry: columns n1 to n2 of rows m1 to m2 of im must contain integer data to be ranked.

2:     $\mathbf{ldm}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the first dimension of the array im as declared in the (sub)program from which m01dff is called.

Constraint: $\mathbf{ldm}\ge \mathbf{m2}$.

3:     $\mathbf{m1}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the index of the first row of im to be ranked.

Constraint: $\mathbf{m1}>0$.

4:     $\mathbf{m2}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the index of the last row of im to be ranked.

Constraint: $\mathbf{m2}\ge \mathbf{m1}$.

5:     $\mathbf{n1}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the index of the first column of im to be used.

Constraint: $\mathbf{n1}>0$.

6:     $\mathbf{n2}$ – IntegerInput

On entry: the index of the last column of im to be used.

Constraint: $\mathbf{n2}\ge \mathbf{n1}$.

7:     $\mathbf{order}$ – Character(1)Input

On entry: if $\mathbf{order}=\text{'A'}$, the rows will be ranked in ascending (i.e., nondecreasing) order.

If $\mathbf{order}=\text{'D'}$, into descending order.

Constraint: $\mathbf{order}=\text{'A'}$ or $\text{'D'}$.

8:     $\mathbf{irank}\left(\mathbf{m2}\right)$ – Integer arrayOutput

On exit: elements m1 to m2 of irank contain the ranks of the corresponding rows of im. Note that the ranks are in the range m1 to m2: thus, if the $i$th row of im is the first in the rank order, $\mathbf{irank}\left(i\right)$ is set to m1.

9:     $\mathbf{ifail}$ – 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).
