Next: NDF_XNUMB - Determine the number of extensions in an NDF
Up: FORTRAN ROUTINE DESCRIPTIONS
Previous: NDF_XNAME - Obtain the name of the N'th extension in an NDF
- Description:
The routine creates a new named extension of specified type and
shape in an NDF structure, and returns an HDS
locator to it.
- Invocation:
CALL NDF_XNEW( INDF, XNAME, TYPE, NDIM, DIM, LOC, STATUS )
- Arguments:
-
INDF = INTEGER (Given)
-
NDF identifier.
-
XNAME = CHARACTER * ( * ) (Given)
-
Extension name.
-
TYPE = CHARACTER * ( * ) (Given)
-
HDS data type of the extension.
-
NDIM = INTEGER (Given)
-
Number of extension dimensions.
-
DIM( NDIM ) = INTEGER (Given)
-
Extension dimension sizes.
-
LOC = CHARACTER * ( * ) (Returned)
-
Locator to the newly created extension.
-
STATUS = INTEGER (Given and Returned)
-
The global status.
- Notes:
-
If this routine is called with STATUS set, then an invalid
locator will be returned for the LOC argument, although no
further processing will occur. The same value will also be
returned if the routine should fail for any reason.
