# EOS_GD_SETTILECACHE

This function sets tile cache parameters.

## Examples

In this example, we set maxcache to 10 tiles. The particular subsetting envisioned for the Spectra field (defined in the EOS_GD_DEFTILE example) would never cross more than 10 tiles along the field’s fastest varying dimension, i.e., XDim.

status = EOS_GD_SETTILECACHE(gridID, "Spectra", 10, 0)

## Syntax

Result = EOS_GD_SETTILECACHE(gridID, fieldname, maxcache, cachecode)

## Return Value

Returns SUCCEED(0) if successful and FAIL(–1) otherwise.

## Arguments

### gridID

Grid id (long) returned by EOS_GD_CREATE or EOS_GD_ATTACH.

### fieldname

Fieldname (string).

### maxcache

Maximum number of tiles (long) to cache in memory.

### cachecode

Currently must be set to 0 (long).
