ubound(3I)

NAME
     UBOUND - Returns all the upper bounds of an array or a specified upper
     bound

SYNOPSIS
     UBOUND ([ARRAY=] array [,[DIM=]dim])

IMPLEMENTATION
     UNICOS, UNICOS/mk, IRIX systems

     CF90, MIPSpro 7 Fortran 90

STANDARDS
     Fortran

DESCRIPTION
     The UBOUND intrinsic function returns all the upper bounds of an array
     or returns a specified upper bound.  It accepts the following
     arguments:

     array     Can be of any type.  It must not be scalar.  It must not be
               a pointer that is disassociated or an allocatable array that
               is not allocated.  If array is an assumed-size array, dim
               must be present with a value less than the rank of array.

     dim       Must be scalar and of type integer with a value in the range
               1 <= dim <= n, where n is the rank of array.  The
               corresponding actual argument must not be an optional dummy
               argument.

     UBOUND is an inquiry function.  The name of this intrinsic cannot be
     passed as an argument.

RETURN VALUES
     The result type is default integer.  It is scalar if dim is present;
     otherwise, the result is an array of rank one and size n, where n is
     the rank of array.

     For an array section or for an array expression, other than a whole
     array or array structure component, UBOUND(array,dim) has a value
     equal to the number of elements in the given dimension.  It has a
     value equal to the upper bound for subscript dim of array if dimension
     dim of array does not have size zero; it has the value zero if
     dimension dim has size zero.

     UBOUND(array) has a value whose ith component is equal to
     UBOUND(array,i), for i = 1, 2, ..., n, where n is the rank of array.

EXAMPLES
     Assume that A is declared by the statement REAL A(2:3, 7:10).  In this
     case, the following are true:

     * UBOUND(A) is (/3, 10/).

     * UBOUND(A, DIM = 2) is 10.
