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.
