CTG_CATCR

Obtain a CAT identifier for a new catalogue

Description:

The routine returns a CAT identifier for a new catalogue. The name of the new catalogue is held at a given index within a given group. It is equivalent to CAT_CREAT, except that any existing catalogue with the specified name is first deleted (unless the catalogue specification includes a FITS-extension specifier).

Invocation

CALL CTG_CATCR( IGRP, INDEX, CI, STATUS )

Arguments

IGRP = INTEGER (Given)
A GRP identifier for a group holding the names of catalogues. This will often be created using CTG_CREAT, but groups created by hand using GRP directly can also be used.
INDEX = INTEGER (Given)
The index within the group at which the name of the catalogue to be created is stored.
CI = INTEGER (Returned)
Catalogue identifier.
STATUS = INTEGER (Given and Returned)
The global status.
