fddx_getbin - retrieve external DDS binary tag

SYNOPSIS

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

integer function fddx_getbin(bin_tag)

integer bin_tag

DESCRIPTION

Routine, "fddx_getbin", returns the BIN_TAG of the external binary stream. This is needed because these convenience routines only use the internal buffer BIN_TAG's and normally handle the external binary stream automatically for you. A return value < 0 indicates an error.
