Selective Copying of NDF Components   

Copying of selected NDF components is also possible by using the routine NDF_SCOPY. This behaves in the same way as NDF_COPY, except that it also accepts a list of the NDF components to be copied as its second argument, thus:

      CALL NDF_SCOPY( INDF1, 'Data,Var,Axis,Nohist,Noext(CCDPACK)',
     :                PLACE, INDF2, STATUS )

The component list has the same syntax, and is used in exactly the same way, as in the routine NDF_PROP (see §§[*]-[*]). In fact, NDF_SCOPY is the ``standalone'' equivalent of NDF_PROP and similar rules about the propagation of NDF component information should be observed when using it (see §[*]).
