Hi everyone.
I'm using pvwave 6.10 and have a question about the dc_read
functions.
Does anyone know if there is anyway to have the dc_read_free
function forget any predefined definitions of variables?
For example, if you make a call to dc_read_free to read an
array that is 10 elements long and you pass a variable which
has already been defined to be some other length, it will
automatically write over that predefined definition.
To try to make myself even clearer....
a=[1,2,3,4,5]
stat=dc_read_free(file,a)
{where file is filled with a findgen(10)}
variable a should now read [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9] but instead
will be [0,1,2,3,4].
This problem is very troublesome when you are making calls
within routines that are messaging the data.
Seth
