NDF_STYPE

Set a new type for an NDF array component

Description:

The routine sets a new full type for an NDF array component, causing its storage type to be changed. If the components values are defined, they will be converted from from the old type to the new one. If they are undefined, then no conversion will be necessary. Subsequent enquiries will reflect the new type. Conversion may be performed between any types supported by the NDF_ routines, including from a non-complex type to a complex type (and vice versa).

Invocation

CALL NDF_STYPE( FTYPE, INDF, COMP, STATUS )

Arguments

FTYPE = CHARACTER ( ) (Given)
The new full type specification for the NDF component (e.g. _REAL or COMPLEX_INTEGER).
INDF = INTEGER (Given)
NDF identifier.
COMP = CHARACTER ( ) (Given)
Name of the array component whose type is to be set: DATA or VARIANCE.
STATUS = INTEGER (Given and Returned)
The global status.
