Declaring the VAL_ Functions

Since the VAL_ functions return a result via the routine name, appropriate declarations of their Fortran type must be made before they are used. Thus, for instance, an application which used the routines VAL_ADDUB and VAL_DTOI would require the declarations:

BYTE VAL_ADDUB
INTEGER VAL_DTOI

A routine suitable for processing by the GENERIC compiler might require equivalent generic declarations:

<TYPE> VAL_ADD<T>
<TYPE> VAL_DTO<T>
