Function/Subroutine Documentation

subroutine datelen

(

LEN

)

This subroutine is used to specify the format of Section 1 date-time values that will be output by future calls to any of the BUFRLIB message-reading subroutines.

Author

J. Woollen

Date

1998-07-08

Parameters

[in]

LEN

- integer: Length of Section 1 date-time values to be output by all future calls to message-reading subroutines 8 = YYMMDDHH format with 2-digit year (the default) 10 = YYYYMMDDHH format with 4-digit year

This subroutine can be called at any time from within the application program, and the specified value for LEN will remain in effect for all future calls to any of the BUFRLIB subroutines which read BUFR messages, unless a subsequent call is made to this subroutine to reset the value of LEN again. If this subroutine is never called, a default value of 8 is used for LEN, as set within subroutine bfrini().

Program history log:

• 1998-07-08 J. Woollen – Original author
• 2002-05-14 J. Woollen – Changed from an entry point in readmg() to stand-alone subroutine, to increase portability to other platforms
• 2003-11-04 J. Ator – Added documentation
• 2004-12-20 D. Keyser – Calls wrdlen() to initialize local machine information (in case it has not yet been called), this routine does not require it but it may someday call other routines that do require it
