For routines where it is necessary to perform callback operations via one or more companion callbacks, data must be passed between the procedure argument and any such companion callback via a callback data object as created by x10ba_a1w_f. x10bf_a1w_f can be used to insert a real value into the callback data object. In this way real values can be communicated between a procedure argument and its companion callbacks.

Note that data must be written to and read from the callback data object in strict order without omission.

5 Arguments

1: $cb_handle$ – Type (c_ptr) Input/Output: On entry: will contain a handle to the callback data object.

On exit: will contain a handle to the updated callback data object.
2: $x$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) Input: On entry: a real value, $x$ , to be inserted into the callback data object.
3: $ifail$ – Integer Input/Output: On entry: ifail must be set to $0$ , $- 1$ or $1$ to set behaviour on detection of an error; these values have no effect when no error is detected.
A value of $0$ causes the printing of an error message and program execution will be halted; otherwise program execution continues. A value of $- 1$ means that an error message is printed while a value of $1$ means that it is not.

If halting is not appropriate, the value $- 1$ or $1$ is recommended. If message printing is undesirable, then the value $1$ is recommended. Otherwise, the value $0$ is recommended. When the value $- 1$ or $1$ is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.

On exit: $ifail = 0$ unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

If on entry

ifail = 0

- 1

, explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by x04aaf).

Errors or warnings detected by the routine:

$ifail = 1$: On entry, cb_handle does not define a valid handle to a NAG AD callback data object. It has not been initialized or has been corrupted.

$ifail = - 99$: An unexpected error has been triggered by this routine. Please contact NAG.

$ifail = - 399$: Your licence key may have expired or may not have been installed correctly.
