Function/Subroutine Documentation

writcp()

recursive subroutine writcp

(

LUNIT

)

Write a data subset into a BUFR message using compression.

This subroutine is similar to subroutine writsb(), except that when the subset is encoded and packed into the current message for the BUFR file associated with logical unit LUNIT, it is packed using compression as prescribed within the official WMO BUFR regulations.

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.

Parameters

[in]

lunit

- integer: Fortran logical unit number for BUFR file.
