IRA_LOCAT

Sets the location for new IRA astrometry structures

Description:

By default, IRA_CREAT and IRA_EXPRT store astrometry information in a component named " ASTROMETRY" within the " IRAS" NDF extension. These names may be changed if necessary by calling this routine. The supplied arguments give the name of the NDF extension and the component name to be used by all future calls to IRA_CREAT or IRA_EXPRT. It should be ensured that the extension exists before calling IRA_CREAT or IRA_EXPRT.

Invocation

ASNAME = CHARACTER ∗ ( ∗ ) (Given)
The name of a component of the NDF extension in which to store astrometry information. If a blank value is supplied the current value is left unchanged.
