HDFGETRANGE Function
Gets the maximum and minimum range for the current HDF Scientific Data Set.
 
Restriction
See "Supported Platforms Guide" on the PV-WAVE Documentation website to check if this function is available on your operating system.
Usage
status = HDFGETRANGE (maxvalue, minvalue)
Output Parameters
maxvalue—The maximum data value for the HDF Scientific Data Set.
minvalue—The minimum data value for the HDF Scientific Data Set.
Return Value
status—The status of the function call, where:
*SUCCEED (0)—Indicates success.
*FAIL (–1)—Indicates failure.
Keywords
Help—If present and nonzero, lists the usage for this routine.
Usage—If present and nonzero, lists the usage for this routine. (Same as the Help keyword.)
Discussion
The maximum and minimum data values for the current Scientific Data Set are obtained.
The data type of maxvalue and minvalue is determined by the numeric type returned by HDFGETNT.
Example
hdf_init
@hdf_common
status = HDFGETRANGE(max, min)
IF (status EQ FAIL) THEN $
   MESSAGE, 'HDFGETRANGE failed.'
