NDF_FORM
- Obtain the storage form of an NDF array component
- Description:
The routine returns the storage form of an NDF array component as
an upper case character string (e.g. 'SIMPLE').
- Invocation:
CALL NDF_FORM( INDF, COMP, FORM, STATUS )
- Arguments:
-
INDF = INTEGER (Given)
-
NDF identifier.
-
COMP = CHARACTER * ( * ) (Given)
-
Name of the NDF array component whose storage form is required:
'DATA', 'QUALITY' or 'VARIANCE'.
-
FORM = CHARACTER * ( * ) (Returned)
-
Storage form of the component.
-
STATUS = INTEGER (Given and Returned)
-
The global status.
- Notes:
-
The symbolic constant NDF__SZFRM may be used for declaring the
length of a character variable to hold the storage form of an NDF
array component. This constant is defined in the include file
NDF_PAR.
-
At present, the NDF_ routines only support "primitive" and
"simple" arrays, so only the values 'PRIMITIVE' and 'SIMPLE' can
be returned.
