... Rounds up rebinned pixel size to the nearest integer multiple of the elementary size of the input image . Ignores pixels on the edges that do not fit in an integer number of rebinned pixels . The ancilliary response file for the output spectra should be created with SAS task arfgen . When dealing with filter masks, arfgen works by averaging the ARF in a number of grid elements on an internal map, thus, it is necessary to allow a large number of elements in the internal arfgen map: . ...

... NFILTCAR is the logical rather than the physical number of carriers; if two or more filter wheels are encoded as a single character in the data, there is effectively only one filter wheel, as far as data handling is concerned. If one filter mechanism carries chromatic filters and another carries ``neutral'' filters, the total number of bands (i.e., rows) in the table should be the product of the number of positions in the two carriers. ...

As conditional or control statements you have IF in many variants (but essentially not changed from Fortran 77), DO (with some new variants) and the completely new statement CASE . The DO- loop should now be ended with the statement END DO and we no longer need any statement number. In addition, we can use the statement EXIT to jump out of the DO -loop and CYCLE in order to go to the next iteration of the present DO -loop. ... all negative numbers WRITE (*,*) 'Negative number' CASE (0) ! ...
