Function/Subroutine Documentation

getlens()

recursive subroutine getlens	(	dimension(*)	MBAY,
			LL,
			LEN0,
			LEN1,
			LEN2,
			LEN3,
			LEN4,
			LEN5
	)

This subroutine reads the lengths of all of the individual sections of a given BUFR message, up to a specified point in the message.

This subroutine will work on any BUFR message encoded using BUFR edition 2, 3, or 4

Parameters

[in]	MBAY	– integer(*): BUFR message
[in]	LL	– integer: Number of last section for which the length is to be read. In other words, setting LL = N means to read and return the lengths of Sections 0 through N (i.e. LEN0, LEN1,...,LENN). Any section lengths that are not specified to be read are returned with a default placeholder value of -1.
[out]	LEN0	– integer: Length (in bytes) of Section 0
[out]	LEN1	– integer: Length (in bytes) of Section 1
[out]	LEN2	– integer: Length (in bytes) of Section 2
[out]	LEN3	– integer: Length (in bytes) of Section 3
[out]	LEN4	– integer: Length (in bytes) of Section 4
[out]	LEN5	– integer: Length (in bytes) of Section 5

Remarks

• The start of the BUFR message (i.e. the string 'BUFR') must be aligned on the first 4 bytes of MBAY.
