NDG_CREA1 - Create a single new simple NDF using a specified parameter

Description:
This routine is equivalent to NDF_CREAT except that it allows the NDF to be specified using a GRP group expression (for instance, its name may be given within a text file, etc). The first NDF in the group expression is returned. Any other names in the group expression are ignored. Any modification elements in the supplied group expression will be treated literally.

Invocation:
CALL NDG_CREA1( PARAM, FTYPE, NDIM, LBND, UBND, INDF, NAME, STATUS )

Arguments:

PARAM = CHARACTER $*$ ( $*$ ) (Given)
Name of the ADAM parameter.
FTYPE = CHARACTER $*$ ( $*$ ) (Given)
Full data type of the NDF's DATA component (e.g. '_DOUBLE' or 'COMPLEX_REAL').
NDIM = INTEGER (Given)
Number of NDF dimensions.
LBND( NDIM ) = INTEGER (Given)
Lower pixel-index bounds of the NDF.
UBND( NDIM ) = INTEGER (Given)
Upper pixel-index bounds of the NDF.
INDF = INTEGER (Returned)
NDF identifier.
NAME = CHARACTER $*$ ( $*$ ) (Returned)
The full file specification for the NDF.
STATUS = INTEGER (Given and Returned)
The global status.
