Can anybody help me out with the counterpart of the intrinsic function "dble", which does all "dble" does but transforms data into the extended precision, or real*16, format. I use intel fortran 10.1.

Meanwhile, does fortran provide the ability to test the data type of what is sent over into a function? It seems to me that all the formal arguments in the function need to have specific type first in order for them to receive data. Then, I wonder how one could manually write his own "dble" using fortran?

DBLE is intended to just that - convert the argument to
double precision.

To convert to quad precision, you use the fnction REAL
with the KIND argument specified.
