C> @brief Specify DX BUFR table file of last resort.

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