The named parameter is cancelled. A subsequent attempt to get a value for the parameter will result in a new value being obtained by the underlying parameter system.

CALL PAR_CANCL( PARAM, STATUS )

PARAM = CHARACTER$\ast$($\ast$) (Given)

STATUS = INTEGER (Given and Returned)

The routine attempts to execute regardless of the value of STATUS. If the import value is not SAI__OK, then it is left unchanged, even if the routine fails to complete. If the STATUS is SAI__OK on entry and the routine fails to complete, STATUS will be set to an appropriate error number, and there will one or more additional error reports.
