SELECTED_REAL_KIND ([P] [,R])

9.3.139 SELECTED_REAL_KIND ([P] [, R])

Description:	Returns the value of the kind parameter of a real data type.
Class:	Transformational function; Generic
Arguments:	P (opt)	Must be scalar and of type integer.
	R (opt)	Must be scalar and of type integer.
	At least one argument must be specified.
Results:	The result is a scalar of type default integer. The result has a value equal to a value of the kind parameter of a real data type with decimal precision, as returned by the function PRECISION, of at least P digits and a decimal exponent range, as returned by the function RANGE, of at least R. If no such kind type parameter is available on the processor, the result is as follows: `-1 if the precision is not available -2 if the exponent range is not available -3 if neither is available` If more than one kind type parameter value meets the criteria, the value returned is the one with the smallest decimal precision. (For information on the real model, see Section D.2.)
