Report an error in the form “object_name: message” where message is the text associated with error number status.

CALL DAT_ERDSC( LOC, STATUS )

LOC = CHARACTER $\ast$ ( DAT__SZLOC ) (Given)

STATUS = INTEGER (Given)

This routine is obsolete as HDS now reports its own errors. Any additional error reports from applications should be made using the ERR_ routines (SUN/104). Error reports from system code should use the EMS_ routines (SSN/4).
