ir: Arbitrary reference number assigned to the resulting variable (2 to NV [NUMVAR]). If this number is the same as for a previously defined variable, the previously defined variable will be overwritten with this result.
ia, ib, ic: Reference numbers of the three variables to be operated on. If only two variables, leave IC blank. If only one, leave IB and IC blank.
name: Thirty-two character name for identifying the variable on the printout and displays. Embedded blanks are compressed upon output.
facta, factb, factc: Scaling factors (positive or negative) applied to the corresponding variables (default to 1.0).

Notes

IR = (FACTA x IA) + (FACTB x IB) + (FACTC x IC)
