AIF_PTFNM - Writes the name of an HDS file to a parameter

Description:

Normally, the handles to HDS data files are locators and files are obtained via the parameter system. However, some applications can generate sensible names, especially when dealing a long series of files that are to be created without manual intervention. There is no direct mechanism in the user-level parameter-system library to put a name into the associated parameter. This routine provides that functionality.

Invocation:

CALL AIF_PTFNM( PARNAM, FILNAM, STATUS )

Arguments:

PARNAM = CHARACTER $*$ ( $*$ ) (Given)

Parameter name associated with the data object whose name is to be written.

FILNAM = CHARACTER $*$ ( $*$ ) (Given)

The name of the file.

STATUS = INTEGER (Given and Returned)

The global status.

Notes:

• This cannot be used to obtain the names of objects within an HDS file.

Prior Requirements

• Must have obtained the file via the input parameter.
