What's the meaning of the function DFLOAT in fortran IV?

I need to translate fortran IV code to Matlab. One of the lines of the Fortran code is:

w(J)=DFLOAT(I)

where w is an array and I and J are indices. Is the DFLOAT function is only some sort of type conversion?

The DFLOAT function (in gfortran) converts a number into double precision. I can't find a reference to it in the Fortran IV docs, but it is available as an extension function in some compilers. The standard name for this function is DBLE. The matlab equivalent is the double function.
