- 1
- Insert a new keyword record into the CHU at the specified position
(i.e., immediately preceding the (keyno)th keyword in the header.)
This 'insert record' subroutine is somewhat less efficient
then the 'append record' subroutine (FTPREC) described above because
the remaining keywords in the header have to be shifted down one slot.
FTIREC(unit,key_no,card, > status)
- 2
- Insert a new keyword into the CHU. The new keyword is inserted
immediately following the last keyword that has been read from the header.
These 'insert keyword' subroutines are somewhat less efficient then
the 'append keyword' subroutines described above because the remaining
keywords in the header have to be shifted down one slot.
FTIKY[JLS](unit,keyword,keyval,comment, > status)
FTIKY[EDFG](unit,keyword,keyval,decimals,comment, > status)
- 3
- Insert a new keyword with an undefined, or null, value into the CHU.
The value string of the keyword is left blank in this case.
FTIKYU(unit,keyword,comment, > status)
