DAT_REF

Obtain a reference for an HDS object

Description:

The routine returns a “reference name” for an HDS object whose locator is supplied. This name identifies the object uniquely by including both the name of the container file and the “path name” which locates the object within this file. If a locator to a cell or a slice is supplied, then subscript information will also be included. Appropriate syntax is used to represent file names which do not have the standard ‘.sdf’ file extension.

REF = CHARACTER  (  ) (Returned)
The object’s reference name.
