11.7 x/zvpout—Write parameter to parameter file. NOT RECOMMENDED.

call xvpout( status, name, value, format, count, length ) 
status = zvpout( name, value, format, count, length ) 

x/zvpout takes a parameter which exists as a valid TAE parameter in some other program and writes it to a parameter file for passing to that program. The information given is formatted and written out to the parameter file, which has already been opened with a call to x/zvpopen.

Arguments:

• STATUS: output, integer
  VICAR return status indicator. Possible values are listed in Appendix B: Error Messages (page 140).
• NAME: input, string
  Name of the parameter in the PDF of the receiving program.
• VALUE: input, any type
  value of parameter to be written out. The type of argument used for VALUE depends on the value of FORMAT given. The two must match.
• FORMAT: input, string
  Data format of VALUE. Valid values are STRING, INT, REAL, REAL8.
• COUNT: input, integer
  The actual count of the parameter. This value may exceed the allowable count in the receiving PDF.
• LENGTH: input, integer
  zvpout only. For string parameters, the maximum string length in bytes that occurs in the parameter value vector. For the other formats, this argument is ignored. Since the string length can be obtained from the FORTRAN string itself, it is not needed for the FORTRAN xvpout call.
