Description:
If the supplied quality
name already has a bit number associated with it, the bit number is returned. Otherwise, the next
available plane in the quality array is asigned to the quality name, and its bit number is
returned.
Note, write or update access must be available for the NDF (as set up by routine LPG_ASSOC for instance).
Invocation
CALL IRQ_RBIT( LOCS, QNAME, BIT, STATUS )
Arguments
LOCS(5) = CHARACTER
(
) (Given)
An array of five HDS locators. These locators identify the NDF and the associated quality name information.
They should have been obtained using routine IRQ_FIND or routine IRQ_NEW.
QNAME = CHARACTER
(
)
(Given)
The quality name. This quality name must be defined in the NDF specified by LOCS. Name
definitions can be added to the NDF using routine IRQ_ADDQN.
BIT = INTEGER (Returned)
The
bit number used by the quality name within the quality array. Note, the least-significant
bit is Bit 1, not Bit 0.
STATUS = INTEGER (Given and Returned)
The global status.
