AST_SAME
-
Test if two AST pointers refer to the same Object
- Description:
- This function returns a logical result to indicate
whether two pointers refer to the same Object.
- Invocation:
- RESULT = AST_SAME( THIS, THAT, STATUS )
- Arguments:
-
THIS = INTEGER (Given)
-
Pointer to the first Object.
-
THAT = INTEGER (Given)
-
Pointer to the second Object.
-
STATUS = INTEGER (Given and Returned)
-
The global status.
- Class Applicability:
-
Object
-
This routine applies to all Objects.
- Returned Value:
-
AST_SAME = LOGICAL
-
.TRUE. if the two pointers refer to the same Object, otherwise
.FALSE.
- Notes:
