SECOND — CPU time function

Description

Returns a REAL(4) value representing the elapsed CPU time in seconds. This provides the same functionality as the standard CPU_TIME intrinsic, and is only included for backwards compatibility.

This intrinsic is provided in both subroutine and function forms; however, only one form can be used in any given program unit.

Syntax

CALL SECOND(TIME)
TIME = SECOND()

Arguments

TIME Shall be of type REAL(4).

Return value

In either syntax, TIME is set to the process's current runtime in seconds.

Standard

GNU extension
