LOG(<expN>)

-----------------------------------
Returns natural logarithm (base e) of <expN>.
Return value - Numeric
-----------------------------------

The mathematical function LOG() returns the natural logarithm of <expN>.
The base for the natural logarithm is the constant e; the LOG() function
returns the value of x in the equation ex = <expN>.  <expN> must be
greater than 0.  The number of decimal places returned in the result is
determined by the SET DECIMALS command.
