NAME: cdf0x.pro PURPOSE: `cdf0x.pro' is used to create a set of structure variables containing the constants used by the CDF library. The structures created and their contents are as follows... CDFx - General CDF constants. CDFdt - Data type codes. CDFen - Encoding codes. CDFde - Decoding codes. CDFic - Informational status codes. CDFwc - Warning status codes. CDFec - Error status codes. CDFiif - Internal Interface functions. CDFiix - General Internal Interface items. CDFiia - Internal Interface attribute items. CDFiie - Internal Interface entry items. CDFiir - Internal Interface rVariable items. CDFiiz - Internal Interface zVariable items. These structures contain the same values defined using the `cdf.pro', `cdf1.pro', and `cdf2.pro' batch files. To see the contents of each structure, use the command... IDL> help, /structure, The use of these structures eliminates the problem of too many local variables caused by the use of `cdf.pro', `cdf1.pro', and `cdf2.pro'. This include file is part of the CDF interface provided with the CDF distribution. IDL also provides its own built-in interface to CDFs.
