FTS1_CRNDF

Creates an NDF for a FITS data array, generating the NDF’ s name in some circumstances

Description:

This is a server routine for FITSIN. It packages up the operations required to create an output NDF. In automatic mode the filename is generated and put into the parameter to prevent prompting. In manual mode the user is prompted for the file name of the NDF.

Invocation

CALL FTS1_CRNDF( PNNDF, FILROO, GCOUNT, NG, AUTO, FORMAT, NDIM, : DIMS, NDF, FILNAM, ASSOC, STATUS )

Arguments

PNNDF = CHARACTER ∗ ( ∗ ) (Given)
The name of the parameter by which the filename of the output NDF will be obtained.
FILROO = CHARACTER ∗ ( ∗ ) (Given)
The rootname of the output NDF. The suffix Gn, where n=%NG, is appended in group-format mode to generate the filename. Otherwise in automatic mode the NDF filename is the rootname.
GCOUNT = INTEGER (Given)
Number of data arrays in the FITS sub-file. It should be one if there are no groups.
NG = INTEGER (Given)
Number of the group. It should be one if there are no groups.
AUTO = LOGICAL (Given)
If true the processing should be done in automatic mode, where the user is not prompted for file names, since these are generated from the prefix, file and sub-file numbers.
FORMAT = CHARACTER ∗ ( ∗ ) (Given)
The destination HDS format of the data array in the output file.
NDIM = INTEGER (Given)
Dimensionality of the NDF.
DIMS( NDIM ) = INTEGER (Given)
The dimensions of the NDF.
NDF = INTEGER (Returned)
The identifier of the created NDF.
FILNAM = CHARACTER ∗ ( ∗ ) (Returned)
The filename of the output NDF.
ASSOC = LOGICAL (Returned)
If false the NDF name was generated automatically.
STATUS = INTEGER (Given and Returned)
The global status.
