* ROMAN(N) - Convert integer N to Roman numeral form.
*
*  N must be positive and less than 4000.
*
*  An asterisk appears in the result if N >= 4000.
*
*  The function fails if N is not an integer.

	DEFINE('ROMAN(N)UNITS')              :(ROMAN_END)

*  Get rightmost digit to UNITS and remove it from N.
*  Return null result if argument is null.
ROMAN	N RPOS(1) LEN(1) . UNITS =           :F(RETURN)

*  Search for digit, replace with its Roman form.
*  Return failing if not a digit.

+	BREAK(',') . UNITS                 :F(FRETURN)

*  Convert rest of N and multiply by 10.  Propagate a
*  failure return from recursive call back to caller.
