KPG1_PRCVT

Converts an HDS primitive to a native data representation

Description:

The routine converts a primitive HDS object so that it is stored using the appropriate native data representation provided by the host machine.

Invocation

CALL KPG1_PRCVT( LOC, STATUS )

Arguments

LOC = CHARACTER ∗ ( DAT__SZLOC ) (Given and Returned)
Locator for the object to be converted. This may be modified on exit (as the original object may have to be erased and re-created).
STATUS = INTEGER (Given and Returned)
The global status.

Notes:

This routine returns without action if the object supplied is not primitive, or if it does not need conversion (i.e. if it has already been converted or was created on the current machine). In this case the LOC argument will be returned unchanged.
