void	g22znf_ (void *handle, const char optstr, Integer ivalue, double rvalue, char cvalue, Integer optype, Integer *ifail, const Charlen length_optstr, const Charlen length_cvalue)

The routine may be called by the names g22znf or nagf_blgm_optget.

3 Description

g22znf can only be called on G22 handles. It can be used to query the current values of optional parameters and will return either an integer, real or character value dependent upon the type associated with the optional parameter being queried.

The optional parameter of interest is presented as a character string of the form ‘option’

In cases where an optional parameter may have multiple instances in a particular G22 handle an instance identifier can be specified. This is presented using the form ‘

option : instance identifier

’. In such cases, if the instance identifier is omitted, the value of the first instance is returned. If the value of optional parameter is not the same for all instances and an instance identifier is omitted, a warning is raised.

Information relating to available option names, their corresponding valid values, whether the use of an instance identifier may be appropriate and what form it can take is given in the individual routine documents.

5 Arguments

1: $handle$ – Type (c_ptr) Input

On entry: the G22 handle which must have been initialized by one of Chapter G22's initialization routines.

2: $optstr$ – Character(*) Input

On entry: a string identifying the option and, where required, the instance identifier.

identify: Returns a string description of the G22 handle supplied in handle. See Section 9 for more details.
option: Returns the value of option. If there are multiple instances of option, the value of the first is returned. If not all instances of option have the same value, $ifail = 124$ is returned.
$option : instance identifier$: Returns the value of a single instance of option.

optstr is case insensitive and option and instance identifier may consist of one or more tokens separated by white space.

See the documentation of the individual Chapter G22 routines for details of valid values for option and instance identifier.

3: $ivalue$ – Integer Output

On exit: if

optype = 1

, option identifies an integer-valued optional parameter and ivalue holds its current value.

4: $rvalue$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) Output

On exit: if

optype = 2

, option identifies a real-valued optional parameter and rvalue holds its current value.

5: $cvalue$ – Character(*) Output

Note: the string returned in cvalue will never exceed

40

characters in length.

On exit: if

optype = 3

, option identifies a character-valued optional parameter and cvalue holds its current value.

6: $optype$ – Integer Output

On exit: indicates whether option is an integer, real or character-valued optional parameter and hence which of ivalue, rvalue or cvalue holds the current value.

$optype = 1$: option is an integer-valued optional parameter; its current value has been returned in ivalue.
$optype = 2$: option is a real-valued optional parameter; its current value has been returned in rvalue.
$optype = 3$: option is a character-valued optional parameter; its current value has been returned in cvalue.

7: $ifail$ – Integer Input/Output

On entry: ifail must be set to

0

- 1

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

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:

$ifail = 11$: handle has not been initialized or is corrupt.

$ifail = 12$: handle is not a G22 handle.

$ifail = 21$: On entry, option was not recognized: $optstr = 〈value〉$ .

$ifail = 22$: On entry, option is not readable: $optstr = 〈value〉$ .

$ifail = 51$: On entry, option is a character optional parameter, but cvalue is too short to hold the stored value. The minimum number of characters to store the value is returned in ivalue. The value returned in cvalue will be truncated.

$ifail = 121$: Invalid instance identifier for option.
On entry, $optstr = 〈value〉$ .

$ifail = 122$: Numeric instance identifier is out of range.
On entry, $instance identifier = 〈value〉$ .
Constraint: $〈value〉 \leq instance identifier$ and $instance identifier \leq 〈value〉$ .

$ifail = 123$: On entry, option cannot have an associated instance identifier. The supplied instance identifier was ignored.
$optstr = 〈value〉$ .

$ifail = 124$: option has multiple instances. Information from the first instance has been returned.

$ifail = - 99$: 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.
