8.1 Status Class

The Status Class is used to handle status flags in the CÆSAR Code Package.

Status public procedures:

	Fundamental procedures
	Initialize		Initializes a status variable (vector or scalar).
	Finalize		Finalizes a status variable (vector or scalar).
	Valid_State		Returns false iff a status variable (vector or scalar) is in an invalid state.
	Operations
	Consolidate		Consolidates a vector status variable into a scalar status variable (also has an assignment interface).
	Equal		Returns true when its arguments are equal. Versions of this function for Status-Status and Status-Character comparisons are available.
	Error		Returns true if the severity level of a scalar status variable is `Error'.
	Get		Gets an output character string according to the specified status variable (also has an assignment interface).
	Normal		Returns true if the severity level of a scalar status variable is `Normal'.
	Not_Equal		Returns true when its arguments are not equal. Versions of this function for Status-Status and Status-Character comparisons are available.
	Set		Sets a scalar status variable according to the specified selector character value (also has an assignment interface).
	Warning		Returns true if the severity level of a scalar status variable is `Warning'.
