NDF_DELET - Delete an NDF   

Description:
The routine deletes the specified NDF. If this is a base NDF, then the associated data object is erased and all NDF identifiers which refer to it (or to sections derived from it) become invalid. If any NDF components are mapped for access, then they are first unmapped. If an NDF section is specified, then this routine is equivalent to calling NDF_ANNUL, and no other identifiers are affected.

Invocation:
CALL NDF_DELET( INDF, STATUS )

Arguments:
INDF = INTEGER (Given and Returned)
Identifier for the NDF to be deleted. A value of NDF__NOID is returned (as defined in the include file NDF_PAR).
STATUS = INTEGER (Given and Returned)
The global status.

Notes:
  • This routine attempts to execute even if STATUS is set on entry, although no further error report will be made if it subsequently fails under these circumstances.
