NAME

       CONSTANTS - constants for LAM Fortran programming

DESCRIPTION

       The following table describes the values appropriate to various constants used in LAM.  It
       also describes the meaning of the constants and lists the cpp(1) header files in which the
       constants  can  be  found.   To  use these files, the Fortran source files will need to be
       passed through cpp(1) before they are  given  to  the  Fortran  compiler.   Some  compiler
       drivers will run cpp(1) if the source file suffix is .F.

       In  lieu  of  cpp(1),  the  constants can be copied to parameter statements in the Fortran
       source files.
