Function/Subroutine Documentation

upds3()

subroutine upds3	(	dimension(*)	MBAY,
			LCDS3,

			NDS3
	)

This subroutine returns the sequence of data descriptors contained within Section 3 of a BUFR message.

Author

Date

Parameters

[in]	MBAY	– integer(*): BUFR message
[in]	LCDS3	– integer: Dimensioned size of CDS3; used by the subroutine to ensure that it doesn't overflow the CDS3 array
[out]	CDS3	– character*6(*): Data descriptor sequence within Section 3 of MBAY
[out]	NDS3	– integer: Number of data descriptors in CDS3

Remarks

• The start of the BUFR message (i.e. the string 'BUFR') must be aligned on the first 4 bytes of MBAY.
• This subroutine does not recursively resolve any Table D descriptors from within Section 3; rather, what is returned in CDS3 is the exact list of data descriptors as it appears within Section 3 of MBAY.

2004-08-18	J. Ator	Removed IFIRST check, since wrdlen() now keeps track of whether it has been called
2005-11-29	J. Ator	Use getlens()
2009-03-23	J. Ator	Added LCDS3 argument and check
