Whenever parameters serve as flags, i.e. can only take a limited number
of values, symbolic names have been defined (e.g. F_IO_MODE) in order to
hide the explicit value from the application. These definitions are stored
in a central Midas directory (logical name MID_INCLUDE).
To obtain these definitions use: #include
<midas_def.h> for C-routines.
In FORTRAN
code use: INCLUDE
MID_INCLUDE:ST_DEF.INC
and
INCLUDE MID_INCLUDE:ST_DAT.INC to get the
necessary translations. The INCLUDE statement is not in
standard FORTRAN 77 but it will be processed via the ESO utility esoext, cf. chapter ![[*]](/images/l2h/icons.gif/cross_ref_motif.gif){kind=icon}
