FIX   
 
PURPOSE: Returns the integer part of the argument. 
FORMAT: 
The parenthesis enclosing the argument can be omitted when the argument is a 
numeric value or variable. 
EXAMPLE:  FIX (-1.5) 
PARAMETERS:  argument : numeric expression 
SEE: INT, FRAC 
 
FRAC   
 
PURPOSE: Returns the fractional part of the argument. 
FORMAT: 
The parenthesis enclosing the argument can be omitted when the argument is a 
numeric value or variable. 
EXAMPLE:  FRAC (3.14) 
PARAMETERS:  argument : numeric expression 
EXPLANATION: 
1.  Returns the fractional art of the argument. 
2.  The sign (±) of the value is the same as that for the argument.

HYPACS   
 
PURPOSE: Returns the value for which hyperbolic cosine (value) = argument. 
FORMAT: 
The parenthesis enclosing the argument can be omitted when the argument is a 
numeric value or variable. 
EXAMPLE:  HYPACS (150) 
PARAMETERS:  argument must be within the [1 , 5x10
99
[ range 
EXPLANATION: 
1.  The mathematical formula for reverse hyperbolic cosine is : 
acosh(x) = ln ( x + √   ) where ln is the natural logarithm . 
2.  The returned value is in the [-230.2585092 , +230.2585092] range.
