SLA_CAF2R - Deg,Arcmin,Arcsec to Radians

ACTION:
Convert degrees, arcminutes, arcseconds to radians (single precision).
CALL:
CALL sla_CAF2R (IDEG, IAMIN, ASEC, RAD, J)
GIVEN:

IDEG I degrees
IAMIN I arcminutes
ASEC R arcseconds
RETURNED:

RAD R angle in radians
J I status:
1 = IDEG outside range 0$-$359
2 = IAMIN outside range 0$-$59
3 = ASEC outside range 0$-$59.999$\cdots$
NOTES:
  1. The result is computed even if any of the range checks fail.
  2. The sign must be dealt with outside this routine.
