MSG_SETx - Assign a value to a message token (concise)

Description:
A given value is encoded using a concise format and the result assigned to the named message token. If the token is already defined, the result is appended to the existing token value. The given value may be one of the following Fortran 77 data types and there is one routine provided for each data type:

Subroutine Fortran 77 Type
MSG_SETD DOUBLE PRECISION
MSG_SETR REAL
MSG_SETI INTEGER
MSG_SETL LOGICAL
MSG_SETC CHARACTER

If these subroutines fail, it will usually be apparent in any messages which refer to this token.


Invocation:
CALL MSG_SETx( TOKEN, CVALUE )

Arguments:

TOKEN = CHARACTER * ( * ) (Given)
The message token name.
VALUE = Fortran 77 type (Given)
The value to be assigned to the message token.

System-specific
The precise effect of failures will depend upon the computer system being used.
