Description:
The routine returns
a count of the number of
“primary” locators associated with an HDS container file (its
reference count). The file will remain open for as long as this number is greater than zero.
Invocation
CALL DAT_REFCT( LOC, REFCT, STATUS )
Arguments
LOC = CHARACTER
(
DAT__SZLOC ) (Given)
Locator associated with any object in the container file.
REFCT = INTEGER
(Returned)
Number of primary locators currently associated with the file.
STATUS = INTEGER
(Given and Returned)
The global status.
Notes:
This routine may be used to determine whether
annulling a primary locator will cause a container file to be closed (also see the routine
DAT_PRMRY).
