1 Purpose

g02zlf is used to query the value of optional parameters available to supported problem solving routines in Chapter G02. Currently, only g02qgf is supported.

2 Specification

Fortran Interface
Subroutine g02zlf ( optstr, ivalue, rvalue, cvalue, optype, iopts, opts, ifail)
Integer, Intent (In) :: iopts(*)
Integer, Intent (Inout) :: ifail
Integer, Intent (Out) :: ivalue, optype
Real (Kind=nag_wp), Intent (In) :: opts(*)
Real (Kind=nag_wp), Intent (Out) :: rvalue
Character (*), Intent (In) :: optstr
Character (*), Intent (Out) :: cvalue
C Header Interface
#include <nag.h>
void  g02zlf_ (const char *optstr, Integer *ivalue, double *rvalue, char *cvalue, Integer *optype, const Integer iopts[], const double opts[], Integer *ifail, const Charlen length_optstr, const Charlen length_cvalue)
The routine may be called by the names g02zlf or nagf_correg_optget.

3 Description

g02zlf is used to query the current values of options. It is necessary to initalize optional parameter arrays using g02zkf before any options are queried.
g02zlf will normally return either an integer, real or character value dependent upon the type associated with the optional parameter being queried. Whether the option queried is of integer, real or character type is indicated by the returned value of optype.
Information on optional parameter names and whether these options are real, integer or character can be found in Section 12 in g02qgf.

5 Arguments

1: optstr Character(*) Input
On entry: a string identifying the option whose current value is required. See Section 12 in g02qgf for information on valid options. In addition, the following is a valid option:
Identify
g02zlf returns in cvalue the (upper-cased) routine name supplied to g02zkf when the optional parameter arrays iopts and opts were initialized.
2: ivalue Integer Output
On exit: if the optional parameter supplied in optstr is an integer valued parameter, ivalue will hold its current value.
3: rvalue Real (Kind=nag_wp) Output
On exit: if the optional parameter supplied in optstr is a real valued parameter, rvalue will hold its current value.
4: cvalue Character(*) Output
Note: the string returned in cvalue will never exceed 40 characters in length.
On exit: if the optional parameter supplied in optstr is a character valued parameter, cvalue will hold its current value, unless Identify is specified, see optstr.
5: optype Integer Output
On exit: indicates whether the optional parameter supplied in optstr is an integer, real or character valued parameter and hence which of ivalue, rvalue or cvalue holds the current value.
optype=1
optstr is an integer valued optional parameter, its current value has been returned in ivalue.
optype=2
optstr is a real valued optional parameter, its current value has been returned in rvalue.
optype=3
optstr is a character valued optional parameter, its current value has been returned in cvalue.
6: iopts(*) Integer array Communication Array
Note: the dimension of this array is dictated by the requirements of associated functions that must have been previously called. This array must be the same array passed as argument iopts in the previous call to g02zkf.
7: opts(*) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Communication Array
Note: the dimension of this array is dictated by the requirements of associated functions that must have been previously called. This array must be the same array passed as argument opts in the previous call to g02zkf.
8: ifail Integer Input/Output
On entry: ifail must be set to 0, −1 or 1 to set behaviour on detection of an error; these values have no effect when no error is detected.
A value of 0 causes the printing of an error message and program execution will be halted; otherwise program execution continues. A value of −1 means that an error message is printed while a value of 1 means that it is not.
If halting is not appropriate, the value −1 or 1 is recommended. If message printing is undesirable, then the value 1 is recommended. Otherwise, the value 0 is recommended. When the value -1 or 1 is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.
On exit: ifail=0 unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

If on entry ifail=0 or −1, explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by x04aaf).
Errors or warnings detected by the routine:
ifail=11
On entry, the option in optstr was not recognized: optstr=value.
ifail=41
On entry, optstr indicates a character optional parameter, but cvalue is too short to hold the stored value. The returned value will be truncated.
ifail=61
On entry, either the option arrays have not been initialized or they have been corrupted.
ifail=-99
An unexpected error has been triggered by this routine. Please contact NAG.
See Section 7 in the Introduction to the NAG Library FL Interface for further information.
ifail=-399

8 Parallelism and Performance

Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.
g02zlf is not threaded in any implementation.
