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. If the print file has been opened, the program name will be indicated on each line and 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)
