DAT_GETVx - Read vectorised primitive

Description:

Read a primitive as if it were vectorised (ie. regardless of its actual shape).

Invocation:

CALL DAT_GETVx( LOC, ELX, VALUE, EL, STATUS )

Arguments:

LOC = CHARACTER * ( DAT__SZLOC ) (Given)

Primitive locator.

ELX = INTEGER (Given)

Maximum size of value.

VALUE = ?( ELX ) (Returned)

Object value.

EL = INTEGER (Returned)

Number of elements.

STATUS = INTEGER (Given and Returned)

The global status.

Notes:

There is a routine for each standard data type; to call them, replace x by C (Character), D (Double), I (Integer), L (Logical), R (Real). See DAT_GET notes on character conversion.
