SETOUT
specifies that the target variables are to be given the attributes of an outvar
field. A check of the field being changed is made, and if it has the current
standard input field attributes, these attributes are switched to the
corresponding standard output field attributes. See Section 6, “Panel Control
Statements,” for a summary of the standard input and output field attributes.
RESETOUT
specifies that the target variables are to have the outvar attributes reset.
ARGS
specifies a range of variables. See “Frequently Occurring Operands,” at the
beginning of this section, for more information. If, as a result of the range being
too large, a list is generated that includes nonexistent variables, these are ignored.
RANGE=( start , end )
determines the range of variables specified by the ARGS operand. See
“Frequently Occurring Operands,” at the beginning of this section, for more
information.
VARS
output-vars-list
specifies which variables are to be used. Multiple variables must be enclosed
in parentheses and separated by commas.
variable *
specifies a set of output variables. See “Frequently Occurring Operands,” at
the beginning of this section, for more information.
RANGE=( start , end )
determines the range of variables specified by the VARS operand. See
“Frequently Occurring Operands,” at the beginning of this section, for
more information.
Considerations
The setting and resetting of ERROR and MODFLD attributes is independent of
any current MODFLD attribute that a variable may have. It is therefore possible to
flag variables without affecting any MODFLD processing in an NCL procedure.
