Function/Subroutine Documentation

subroutine ufbqcd	(		LUNIT,
		character*(*)	NEMO,
			QCD
	)

THIS SUBROUTINE READS IN A MNEMONIC KNOWN TO BE IN THE BUFR TABLE ASSOCIATED WITH THE BUFR FILE IN LOGICAL UNIT LUNIT, AND RETURNS THE DESCRIPTOR ENTRY (Y) ASSOCIATED WITH IT WHEN THE FXY DESCRIPTOR IS A SEQUENCE DESCRIPTOR (F=3) WITH TABLE D CATEGORY 63 (X=63).

THIS ROUTINE WILL NOT WORK FOR ANY OTHER TYPE OF DESCRIPTOR OR ANY OTHER SEQUENCE DESCRIPTOR TABLE D CATEGORY. LUNIT MUST ALREADY BE OPENED FOR INPUT OR OUTPUT VIA A CALL TO OPENBF. THIS ROUTINE IS ESPECIALLY USEFUL WHEN THE CALLING PROGRAM IS WRITING "EVENTS" TO AN OUTPUT BUFR FILE (USUALLY THE "PREPBUFR" FILE) USING THE SAME BUFR TABLE SINCE THE DESCRIPTOR ENTRY (Y) HERE DEFINES THE EVENT PROGRAM CODE. THUS, THE CALLING PROGRAM CAN PASS THE PROGRAM CODE INTO VARIOUS EVENTS WITHOUT ACTUALLY KNOWING ITS VALUE AS LONG AS IT KNOWS THE MNEMONIC NAME ASSOCIATED WITH IT.

PROGRAM HISTORY LOG: 1994-01-06 J. WOOLLEN – ORIGINAL AUTHOR 1998-07-08 J. WOOLLEN – REPLACED CALL TO CRAY LIBRARY ROUTINE "ABORT" WITH CALL TO NEW INTERNAL BUFRLIB ROUTINE "BORT" 2003-11-04 S. BENDER – ADDED REMARKS/BUFRLIB ROUTINE INTERDEPENDENCIES 2003-11-04 D. KEYSER – UNIFIED/PORTABLE FOR WRF; ADDED DOCUMENTATION (INCLUDING HISTORY); OUTPUTS MORE COMPLETE DIAGNOSTIC INFO WHEN ROUTINE TERMINATES ABNORMALLY

USAGE: CALL UFBQCD (LUNIT, NEMO, QCD) INPUT ARGUMENT LIST: LUNIT - INTEGER: FORTRAN LOGICAL UNIT NUMBER FOR BUFR FILE (ASSOCIATED BUFR TABLE MAY BE INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL) NEMO - CHARACTER*(*): MNEMONIC

OUTPUT ARGUMENT LIST: QCD - REAL: SEQUENCE DESCRIPTOR ENTRY (I.E., EVENT PROGRAM CODE) IN BUFR TABLE ASSOCIATED WITH NEMO (Y IN FXY DESCRIPTOR, WHERE F=3 AND X=63)

REMARKS: THIS SUBROUTINE IS THE INVERSE OF BUFR ARCHIVE LIBRARY ROUTINE UFBQCP.

THIS ROUTINE CALLS: ADN30 BORT NEMTAB STATUS THIS ROUTINE IS CALLED BY: None Normally called only by application programs.
