HDS_EWILD - End a wild-card search for HDS container files

Description:
The routine ends a wild-card search for HDS container files begun by HDS_WILD, and annuls the wild-card search context used. It should be called after a wild-card search is complete in order to release the resources used.

Invocation:
CALL HDS_EWILD( IWLD, STATUS )

Arguments:
IWLD = INTEGER (Given and Returned)
Identifier for the wild-card search context to be annulled, as returned by HDS_WILD. A value of DAT__NOWLD is returned (as defined in the include file DAT_PAR).
STATUS = INTEGER (Given and Returned)
The global status.

Notes:
This routine attempts to execute even if STATUS is set on entry, although no further error report will be made if it subsequently fails under these circumstances. In particular, it will fail if the identifier supplied is not initially valid, but this will only be reported if STATUS is set to SAI__OK on entry.
