GRIB_GETDATA

The GRIB_GETDATA function returns the key/value pairs associated with a requested record in the form of an ORDEREDHASH.

Examples

In this example, we locate a GRIB file and ask IDL to return the 2nd record.

file = FILEPATH('atl.grb2',SUBDIRECTORY=['examples','data'])

data = GRIB_GETDATA(file, 2)

IDL returns:

help, data

DATA ORDEREDHASH <ID=1 NELEMENTS=224>

Syntax

Result = GRIB_GETDATA( filename, record)

Return Value
