DESCRIPTION

Routine which starts bmf_split mode: it permits to write bmf fields by dividing them for a later use in a parallel context. Files corresponding to the return value of prog_filename will be open and used for writing by bmf_splitwr* routines.

Note: DO NOT USE the old bmf_splitinit, it will not work with bmf_blocgobe.

EXAMPLE

call bmf_splitstart(2,2,'../../','aa',20010614,9,10,11) In this case, filenames will be: ../../aa20010614091011-00-00 ../../aa20010614091011-00-01 ../../aa20010614091011-01-00 ../../aa20010614091011-01-01 SEE ALSO BMF_* , PROG_FILENAME Author: Luc Corbeil, February 24 2003 Return to RPN Librairies home page
