nnsetp, nngetp

Set and retrieve parameters for Natgrid routines. The ncl language affords a convenient implementation of the parameter setting and retrieval functions.

Synopsis

    procedure nnsetp(
        pnam[1] : string,
        pval[1]
    )

    function nngetp(
        pnam[1] : string,
    )

Arguments

pnam

name of the parameter you want to set or retrieve

pval

value of the parameter you want to set; this value must be of the type appropriate to the parameter being set.
