PDA_RNSED
- Sets the seed for the PDA random-number generators
- Description:
- This sets the initial seed for the simple random-number generator
based upon Ahrens, Dieter & Grube's TOMS599 routines. The seed
should be of the form 4
K
1, where K is a positive integer, and
less than 2
28. When it is not, the nearest valid seed is used,
but if this is negative, the seed becomes 2001.
- Invocation:
- CALL PDA_RNSED( SEED )
- Arguments:
-
-
SEED = INTEGER (Given)
-
The random-number seed.
