Previous: PAR_GDRVx - Obtains a vector of values within a given range from a parameter
- Description:
This routine obtains a scalar value from a parameter. If it is
necessary, the value is converted to the required type.
- Invocation:
CALL PAR_GET0x( PARAM, VALUE, STATUS )
- Arguments:
-
PARAM = CHARACTER * ( * ) (Given)
-
The parameter name.
-
VALUE = ? (Returned)
-
The parameter value.
-
STATUS = INTEGER (Given and Returned)
-
The global status.
- Notes:
-
There is a routine for each of the data types character,
double precision, integer, logical, and real: replace "x" in the
routine name by C, D, I, L, or R respectively as appropriate. The
VALUE argument must have the corresponding data type.
-
Note that a scalar (0-dimensional) parameter is different from
a vector (1-dimensional) parameter containing a single value.
