Natural logarithm: LN
■Usable data
: Usable
■Description, data type of result
• The base e natural logarithm of the data specified with (S) is found.
• Only a positive number may be specified with (S). (Operation cannot be performed with a negative number.)
• If (S) is an integer type, it is converted into a floating-point type before operation is performed.
An operation error will occur if:
• (S) is 0 or a negative number.
• (S) is an indirectly specified device and its device No. is outside the range.
■Program which finds the natural logarithm of D0F and substitutes the result to #0F
