PAR_PUT1x - Puts a vector of values into a parameter    

Description:
This routine puts a 1-dimensional array of values into a parameter. If necessary, the specified array is converted to the type of the parameter.

Invocation:
CALL PAR_PUT1x( PARAM, NVAL, VALUES, STATUS )

Arguments:
PARAM = CHARACTER * ( * ) (Given)
The parameter name.
NVAL = INTEGER (Given)
The number of values that are to be put into the parameter.
VALUES( NVAL ) = ? (Given)
The array of values to be put into the parameter.
STATUS = INTEGER (Given and Returned)
The global status.

Notes:
  • There is a routine for each of the data types character, double precision, integer, logical, and real: replace "x" in the routine name by C, D, I, L, or R respectively as appropriate. The VALUES argument must have the corresponding data type.
  • A scalar (0-dimensional) parameter is different from a vector (1-dimensional) parameter containing a single value.
  • In order to obtain a storage object for the parameter, the current implementation of the underlying ADAM parameter system will proceed in the same way as it does for input parameters. This can result in users being prompted for `a value'. This behaviour, and how to avoid it, is discussed further in the Interface Module Reference Manual ( SUN/115).
  • Limit checks for IN, RANGE, MIN/MAX are not applied.
