Example

In the following example, the next integer equal or lower function is used with the square root function to determine whether a number is the exact square of an integer value:

Initial value:
    WK-VALUE: 65
Statements:
    IF NEXIL(SQRT(WK-VALUE)) NE SQRT(WK-VALUE)
      THEN
        DISPLAY TEXT 'VALUE IS NOT AN EXACT SQUARE'.
Returned value from square root functions: 8.0632
Returned value from next integer function: 8
