Parameters

[in]

LUNIT

– integer: Fortran logical unit number for BUFR file

Remarks

• This subroutine activates compression via an internal call to subroutine cmpmsg(), followed by an internal call to subroutine writsb(), followed by a second internal call to subroutine cmpmsg() to deactivate compression. For this reason, most application programs which write compressed BUFR messages now call subroutines cmpmsg() and writsb() directly; however, this subroutine is still supported within the BUFRLIB software for backwards-compatibility with certain legacy application programs.
