Description:
This routine stores a
comment card ( i.e. a card with no keyword name or equals sign) within a
FitsChan at the current card
position. The new card can either over-write an existing card, or can be inserted as a new card into the
FitsChan.
Invocation
CALL AST_SETFITSCM( THIS, COMMENT, OVERWRITE, STATUS )
Arguments
THIS = INTEGER (Given)
Pointer to the FitsChan.
COMMENT = CHARACTER
(
)
(Given)
A string holding the text of the comment card. If a blank string is supplied, then a totally
blank card is produced.
OVERWRITE = LOGICAL (Given)
If .TRUE., the new card over-writes the
current card, and the current card is incremented to refer to the next card (see the
"Card" attribute). If
.FALSE., the new card is inserted in front of the current card and the current card is left unchanged. In
either case, if the current card on entry points to the
" end-of-file
" , the new card is appended to the
end of the list.
STATUS = INTEGER (Given and Returned)
The global status.
Notes:
-
If, on exit, there are no cards following the card written by this function, then the current card is left
pointing at the " end-of-file" .
