8.1.16 Status_Not_Equal_Character Procedure

The Status_Not_Equal_Character procedure returns a logical value which is true when the status variable is not equal to the state specified by the input character string, used as a selector flag (see Set_Status procedure for a list of valid flags). It has an operator (/= or .ne.) interface.

Calling syntax:

Logical = S /= C	or
Logical = Not_Equal(S, C)

Input variable:

	C		The selector flag string to be compared.
	S		The status variable to be compared.

Output variable:

Not_Equal

True iff the two status variables have different states.

The Status_Not_Equal_Character code listing contains additional documentation.
