5 Arguments

1: $\mathbf{ch}\left(\mathbf{m2}\right)$ – Character(*) array Input/Output

On entry: elements m1 to m2 of ch must contain character data to be rearranged.

Constraint: the length of each element of ch must not exceed $255$.

On exit: these values are rearranged into rank order. For example, if $\mathbf{irank}\left(i\right)=\mathbf{m1}$, then the initial value of $\mathbf{ch}\left(i\right)$ is moved to $\mathbf{ch}\left(\mathbf{m1}\right)$.

2: $\mathbf{m1}$ – Integer Input

3: $\mathbf{m2}$ – Integer Input

On entry: the range of the ranks supplied in irank and the elements of ch to be rearranged.

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

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

On entry: elements m1 to m2 of irank must contain a permutation of the integers m1 to m2, which are interpreted as a vector of ranks.

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

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

On entry: ifail must be set to $0$, $-1$ 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 $-1$ means that an error message is printed while a value of $1$ means that it is not.

If halting is not appropriate, the value $-1$ 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: $\mathbf{m2}\ge 1$.

$\mathbf{ifail}=2$

On entry, $\mathrm{len}\left(\mathbf{ch}\left(1\right)\right)=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.
Constraint: $\mathrm{len}\left(\mathbf{ch}\left(1\right)\right)\le 255$.

$\mathbf{ifail}=3$

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

Elements m1 to m2 of irank do not contain a permutation of the integers m1 to m2. On exit, the contents of ch may be corrupted. To check the validity of irank without the risk of corrupting ch, use m01zbf.

$\mathbf{ifail}=4$

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

Elements m1 to m2 of irank do not contain a permutation of the integers m1 to m2. On exit, the contents of ch may be corrupted. To check the validity of irank without the risk of corrupting ch, use m01zbf.
