Arithmetic

 Conditionally transfers control to one of three statements, based
 on the current value of an arithmetic expression.  Statement
 format:

    IF (e) s1,s2,s3

    e         Is an arithmetic expression.

    s1,s2,s3  Are labels of executable statements in the same 
              program unit.  All three labels are required, 
              but they need not refer to different statements.

 Executes the statement at the first label ("s1") if the arithmetic
 expression evaluates to a value less than 0; the statement at the
 second label ("s2") if the arithmetic expression evaluates to 0; or
 the statement at the third label ("s3") if the arithmetic
 expression evaluates to a value greater than 0.


                                NOTE

         The  arithmetic  IF  statement  is  an  obsolescent
         feature  in  Fortran  95  and  Fortran  90.  HP
         Fortran fully supports this feature.
