This chapter describes M language Intrinsic Functions implemented in GT.M. All of the functions starting with the letter Z are GT.M additions to the ANSI standard Intrinsic Functions. The M standard specifies standard abbreviations for Intrinsic Functions and rejects any non-standard abbreviations.

M Intrinsic Functions start with a single dollar sign ($) and have one or more arguments enclosed in parentheses () and separated by commas (,). These functions provide expression results by performing actions that are impossible or difficult to perform using M commands.
