When argument B
is
a multidimensional array,
the
[I] index
entry
is
used
to
specify
the
coordinate acted on. If
the
index
entry
is
omitted,
the
last coordinate (columns)
is
acted on.
If
the<D
tB
form
is
used,
the
first coordinate
is
acted on. Indexing along a
nonexistent coordinate will result
in
INDEX ERROR.
When argument B
is
a multidimensional array,
the
coordinate
of
argument B
that
is
acted
on
is
eliminated:

If argument B
is
an array
that
has a coordinate whose dimension
is
zero,
then
reduc-
tion
along
that
coordinate yields an array whose elements are equal
to
the
identity
element
for
the
function.
The
identity
element
for
each function
is
given
in
the
preceding table.
