Use of character fields



 Use of character fields

ARGUMENTS

    

DESCRIPTION

To write character fields, one can use dtyp=10 as described in bmf_write. Note that at this time, it is recommended to use this feature only in a 1D fashion, with ni=n character to write, istart=1, iend=ni, nj=nk=(jk)start=(jk)end=1. Only bmf_write and bmf_splitwrall can write characters, any other use may give unpredictable results (if you're lucky enough to make it work!).

To retrieve a character field, use bmf_get2 as usual with dtyp=10.



EXAMPLE

	character(len=28) string

	string='This is the string I write'
	ni=26
	
	dtyp=10
        call bmf_write(iun,'STRI',ni,1,ni,1,&
                    1,1,1,1,1,&
                    time1,time2,hgrid,vgrid,10,&
                    0,ni,string)
