The <em>log</em> operator returns the natural logarithm of its argument.

<em>log</em>(&lt;expression&gt;) or <em>log</em> &lt;expression&gt;

&lt;expression&gt; can be any valid scalar REDUCE expression.

</TT></PRE><P><em>log</em>returns a numeric value only when 
<A HREF=r37_0330.html>rounded</A> is on. In that 
case, use of a negative argument for <em>log</em> results in an error 
message. No error is given on a negative argument when REDUCE is not in 
that mode.
