writlc()

recursive subroutine writlc	(		LUNIT,
		character*(*)	CHR,
		character*(*)	STR
	)

Write a long character string (greater than 8 bytes) to a data subset.

The data subset should have already been written into a BUFR message before calling this subroutine to write a long character string into the subset.

If there is more than one occurrence of STR within the data subset definition, then each occurrence can be written via a separate call to this subroutine, and by appending the ordinal number of the occurrence to STR in each case. For example, if there are 5 occurrences of mnemonic LSTID within a given data subset definition, then 5 separate calls should be made to this subroutine, once each with STR set to 'LSTID#1', 'LSTID#2', 'LSTID#3', 'LSTID#4' and 'LSTID#5'. However, the first notation is superfluous, because omitting the ordinal number always defaults to the first occurrence of a particular string, so a user could just specify 'LSTID' instead of 'LSTID#1'.

Character strings which are 8 bytes or less in length can be written by converting the string into a real*8 value within the application program, and then using the real*8 USR array within a call to one of the BUFRLIB values-writing subroutines prior to calling one of the subset-writing subroutines for the data subset.

Parameters

[in]	LUNIT	- integer: Fortran logical unit number for BUFR file.
[in]	CHR	- character*(*): Value corresponding to STR.
[in]	STR	- character*(*): Table B mnemonic of long character string to be written, possibly supplemented with an ordinal occurrence notation.
