The MODULEIC subroutine calls an external routine that returns a character value.

The arguments to the MODULEIC function are as follows:

control

is a character matrix that contains a control string.

modname

is a character matrix that contains the name of the external routine to be called.

matrix

specifies matrix parameters to be passed to the external routine.

The MODULEIC routine executes a routine modname that resides in an external shared library with the specified arguments and that returns a character value.

The description of this function is identical to the description of the MODULEI call, except that the MODULEIC function returns a character value from the external routine. See the MODULEI call for a full description of the function and its arguments.
