DBSTATUS Checks status of up to ten data blocks
Checks the status of up to ten data blocks.
Format:
DBSTATUS DB1,DB2,DB3,DB4,DB5,DB6,DB7,DB8,DB9,DB10//
S,N,NODB1/S,N,NODB2/S,N,NODB3/S,N,NODB4/S,N,NODB5/
S,N,NODB6/S,N,NODB7/S,N,NODB8/S,N,NODB9/S,N,NODB10 $
Input Data Blocks:
DBi Any data block (matrix or table).
Output Data Blocks:
None.
Parameters:
NODBi Output-integer-default=-1. Status of the DBi-th data block:
-1 not generated
0 empty
1 generated
10 offline and empty
11 offline and generated
Remarks:
1. Trailing commas in the input data block list may be omitted without warning. For
example the following statement:
DBSTATUS KAA,,,,,,,,,//S,N,NOKAA $
may be shortened to:
DBSTATUS KAA//S,N,NOKAA $
2. DBSTATUS is similar to PARAML DB//'PRES' with expanded capability for
empty and offline data blocks; i.e., PARAML returns -1 for empty data blocks and
fatally terminates for offline data blocks.
