1: $\mathbf{iperm}\left(\mathbf{m2}\right)$ – Integer array Input/Output

On entry: elements $\mathbf{m1}$ to $\mathbf{m2}$ of iperm must be set to values which are supposed to be a permutation of the integers m1 to m2. If they are a valid permutation, the routine exits with $\mathbf{ifail}=\mathbf{0}$.

On exit: used as internal workpsace prior to being restored and hence is unchanged.

2: $\mathbf{m1}$ – Integer Input

3: $\mathbf{m2}$ – Integer Input

On entry: the range of elements used in the array iperm and the range of values in the permutation, as specified under iperm.

Constraint: $0<\mathbf{m1}\le \mathbf{m2}$.

4: $\mathbf{ifail}$ – Integer Input/Output

On entry: ifail must be set to $0$, $\mathrm{-1}$ or $1$ to set behaviour on detection of an error; these values have no effect when no error is detected.

A value of $0$ causes the printing of an error message and program execution will be halted; otherwise program execution continues. A value of $\mathrm{-1}$ means that an error message is printed while a value of $1$ means that it is not.

If halting is not appropriate, the value $\mathrm{-1}$ or $1$ is recommended. If message printing is undesirable, then the value $1$ is recommended. Otherwise, the value $0$ is recommended. When the value $-\mathbf{1}$ 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).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

$\mathbf{ifail}=1$

On entry, $\mathbf{m1}=⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$.
Constraint: $\mathbf{m1}\ge 1$.

On entry, $\mathbf{m1}=⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$ and $\mathbf{m2}=⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$.
Constraint: $\mathbf{m1}\le \mathbf{m2}$.

On entry, $\mathbf{m2}=⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$.
Constraint: $\mathbf{m2}\ge 1$.

$\mathbf{ifail}=2$

$\mathbf{iperm}\left(\mathbf{m1}:\mathbf{m2}\right)$ does not contain a permutation of the integers m1 to m2. $\mathbf{iperm}\left(I\right)$ contains an out-of-range value: $I=⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$, $\mathbf{iperm}\left(I\right)=⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$.

Elements m1 to m2 of iperm do not contain a permutation of the integers m1 to m2.

$\mathbf{ifail}=3$

$\mathbf{iperm}\left(\mathbf{m1}:\mathbf{m2}\right)$ does not contain a permutation of the integers m1 to m2. iperm contains a repeated value: $⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$.

Elements m1 to m2 of iperm do not contain a permutation of the integers m1 to m2.
