Comments

  1. Points 1 and 2 are required.
  2. A function and a table cannot share the same identifier.
  3. This function can be used with these options:

    /IMPDISP, /IMPVEL, /IMPACC, /IMPDISP/FGEO, /IMPVEL/FGEO, /IMPVEL/LAGMUL, /PLOAD, /CLOAD, /GRAV, /IMPTEMP, and /IMPFLUX

  4. For an abscissa smaller than X1, the ordinate value is Y1.
  5. For an abscissa larger than XN, the ordinate value is YN.
  6. The function is scaled first and shifted afterwards, as:
