Function/Subroutine Documentation

subroutine openbt	(		LUNDX,
			MTYP
	)

This subroutine is called as a last resort from within subroutine cktaba(), in the event the latter subroutine is unable to locate a DX BUFR table for use in reading/decoding a given BUFR message.

Within the BUFRLIB distribution package, this subroutine is a default placeholder which always returns LUNDX = 0 and is only included to allow application programs to compile without generating a link error for an unresolved external reference. However, users are free to define their own inline version of this subroutine with the same name and calling sequence and include it within the compilation of their application program in order to override the default placeholder version of this subroutine. In such cases, subroutine cktaba() will then use the inline version of this subroutine as a last resort when attempting to locate the required DX BUFR table file.
