- Description:
Create a new component in a structure.
- Invocation:
CALL DAT_NEW( LOC, NAME, TYPE, NDIM, DIM, STATUS )
- Arguments:
-
LOC = CHARACTER * ( DAT__SZLOC ) (Given)
-
Structure locator.
-
NAME = CHARACTER * ( DAT__SZNAM ) (Given)
-
Component name.
-
TYPE = CHARACTER * ( DAT__SZTYP ) (Given)
-
Data type.
-
NDIM = INTEGER (Given)
-
Number of dimensions.
-
DIM = INTEGER( NDIM ) (Given)
-
Component dimensions.
-
STATUS = INTEGER (Given and Returned)
-
The global status.
- Notes:
If type matches one of the primitive type names a primitive of
the appropriate type is created, otherwise the object is assumed
to be a structure. The new object can subsequently be located by
DAT_FIND. The operation will fail if a component of the same
name already exists.
