ARY_IMPRT  -  Import an array into the ARY_ system from HDS

Description:
The routine imports an array into the ARY_ system from HDS and issues an identifier for it. The array may then be manipulated by the ARY_ routines.

Invocation:
CALL ARY_IMPRT( LOC, IARY, STATUS )

Arguments:
LOC = CHARACTER ( ) (Given)
HDS locator to an array structure.
IARY = INTEGER (Returned)
Array identifier.
STATUS = INTEGER (Given and Returned)
The global status.

Notes:
  • The locator supplied as input to this routine may later be annulled without affecting the subsequent behaviour of the ARY_ system.

  • If this routine is called with STATUS set, then a value of ARY__NOID will be returned for the IARY argument, although no further processing will occur. The same value will also be returned if the routine should fail for any reason. The ARY__NOID constant is defined in the include file ARY_PAR.
