◆ ibfms()

integer function ibfms ( real*8  R8VAL)

Test whether a real*8 data value is "missing".

This function provides a handy way to check whether a real*8 data value returned from a previous call to any of the other BUFRLIB values-reading subroutines contains the current placeholder value for "missing" data.

Parameters
[in]R8VAL- real*8: Data value to be tested.
Returns
ibfms - integer:
  • 0 = R8VAL is not "missing".
  • 1 = R8VAL is "missing".

The current placeholder value for "missing" data is always equal to the value XMISS as specified during the most recent call to subroutine setbmiss(), or to a default value of 10E10 if setbmiss() was never called. In either case, a return value of 1 means that the corresponding value was encoded as "missing" (all bits set to 1) within the actual BUFR data subset.
