AST_ADDPARAMETER
-
Add a new global parameter definition to a table
- Description:
- Adds the definition of a new global parameter to the supplied
table. Note, this does not store a value for the parameter. To get
or set the parameter value, the methods of the paremt KeyMap class
should be used, using the name of the parameter as the key.
- Invocation:
- CALL AST_ADDPARAMETER( THIS, NAME, STATUS )
- Arguments:
-
THIS = INTEGER (Given)
-
Pointer to the Table.
-
NAME = CHARACTER
(
) (Given)
-
The parameter name. Trailing spaces are ignored (all other spaces
are significant). The supplied string is converted to upper case.
-
STATUS = INTEGER (Given and Returned)
-
The global status.
- Notes:
- Unlike columns, the definition of a parameter does not specify its type,
size or dimensionality.
