fdds_prterr - print an error message

SYNOPSIS

#include <fdds.h> (fixed-format sources)
#include <f90dds.h> (free-format sources)

integer function fdds_prterr(fmt, ...)

character*(*) fmt

DESCRIPTION

fdds_prterr writes an error message to the console. The program name will be indicated on each line of the message. If the print file has been opened, the message will also be written to the print file. The message is based on the format string, fmt, and optional arguments (see fdds_printf). An error message will cause fdds_closepr to print an abnormal termination message. The return value is always 0.

EXAMPLES

      integer        ier
      real           si
      ...
      ier=fdds_prterr('Illegal sample interval=%f\n\0',si)
