I understand that this, usually at least, an integer such that negative values indicate errors, etc, but I'm just curious as to the choice of the three letters "sts". Do they stand for something in particular? G'day Paul.It is a truncation of status ... from the days of FortranIV and punched cards long before VeryLongCamelCaseVariableNames became popular. Blame me. |
