5 Arguments

1: $\mathbf{n}$ – Integer Input

On entry: $n$, the number of elements in $x$.

Constraint: $\mathbf{n}\ge 0$.

2: $\mathbf{x}\left[\mathit{dim}\right]$ – const Integer Input

Note: the dimension, dim, of the array x must be at least $\max (1,1+(\mathbf{n}-1)\times \left|\mathbf{incx}\right|)$.

On entry: the $n$-element vector $x$.

If $\mathbf{incx}>0$, $x_{\mathit{i}}$ must be stored in $\mathbf{x}\left[(\mathit{i}-1)\times \mathbf{incx}\right]$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{n}$.

If $\mathbf{incx}<0$, $x_{\mathit{i}}$ must be stored in $\mathbf{x}\left[(\mathbf{n}-\mathit{i})\times \left|\mathbf{incx}\right|\right]$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{n}$.

Intermediate elements of x are not referenced. If $\mathbf{n}=0$, x is not referenced and may be NULL.

3: $\mathbf{incx}$ – Integer Input

On entry: the increment in the subscripts of x between successive elements of $x$.

Constraint: $\mathbf{incx}\ne 0$.

4: $\mathbf{k}$ – Integer * Output

On exit: $k$, the index, from the set $\{0,1,\dots ,\mathbf{n}-1\}$, of the largest component of $x$ with respect to absolute value. If $\mathbf{n}=0$ on input then k is returned as $\mathrm{-1}$.

5: $\mathbf{i}$ – Integer * Output

On exit: $i$, the largest component of $x$ with respect to absolute value. If $\mathbf{n}=0$ on input then i is returned as $0$.

6: $\mathbf{fail}$ – NagError * Input/Output

The NAG error argument (see Section 7 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

NE_ALLOC_FAIL

Dynamic memory allocation failed.
See Section 3.1.2 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.

NE_BAD_PARAM

On entry, argument $⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$ had an illegal value.

NE_INT

On entry, $\mathbf{incx}=⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$.
Constraint: $\mathbf{incx}\ne 0$.

On entry, $\mathbf{n}=⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$.
Constraint: $\mathbf{n}\ge 0$.
