ARY_FORM
-
Obtain the storage form of an array
- Description:
-
The routine returns the storage form of an array as an upper-case
character string (e.g. 'SIMPLE ').
- Invocation:
-
CALL ARY_FORM( IARY, FORM, STATUS )
- Arguments:
-
-
IARY = INTEGER (Given)
-
Array identifier.
-
FORM = CHARACTER
(
) (Returned)
-
Storage form of the array.
-
STATUS = INTEGER (Given and Returned)
-
The global status.
- Notes:
-
-
The symbolic constant ARY__SZFRM may be used for declaring the
length of a character variable to hold the storage form of an
array. This constant is defined in the include file ARY_PAR.
-
At present, the ARY_ routines only support "primitive " and
"simple " arrays, so only the values 'PRIMITIVE ' and 'SIMPLE ' can
be returned.
