# NAG Library Routine DocumentG02ZLF

Note:  before using this routine, please read the Users' Note for your implementation to check the interpretation of bold italicised terms and other implementation-dependent details.

## 1  Purpose

G02ZLF is used to query the value of optional parameters available to supported problem solving routines in Chapter G02. Currently, only G02QGF is supported.

## 2  Specification

 SUBROUTINE G02ZLF ( OPTSTR, IVALUE, RVALUE, CVALUE, OPTYPE, IOPTS, OPTS, IFAIL)
 INTEGER IVALUE, OPTYPE, IOPTS(*), IFAIL REAL (KIND=nag_wp) RVALUE, OPTS(*) CHARACTER(*) OPTSTR, CVALUE

## 3  Description

G02ZLF is used to query the current values of options. It is necessary to initalize optional parameter arrays using G02ZKF before any options are queried.
G02ZLF will normally return either an integer, real or character value dependent upon the type associated with the optional parameter being queried. Whether the option queried is of integer, real or character type is indicated by the returned value of OPTYPE.
Information on optional parameter names and whether these options are real, integer or character can be found in Section 11 in G02QGF.

None.

## 5  Parameters

1:     OPTSTR – CHARACTER(*)Input
On entry: a string identifying the option whose current value is required. See Section 11 in G02QGF for information on valid options. In addition, the following is a valid option:
$\mathbf{Identify}$
G02ZLF returns in CVALUE the routine name supplied to G02ZKF when the optional parameter arrays IOPTS and OPTS were initialized.
2:     IVALUE – INTEGEROutput
On exit: if the optional parameter supplied in OPTSTR is an integer valued parameter, IVALUE will hold its current value.
3:     RVALUE – REAL (KIND=nag_wp)Output
On exit: if the optional parameter supplied in OPTSTR is a real valued parameter, RVALUE will hold its current value.
4:     CVALUE – CHARACTER(*)Output
Note: the string returned in CVALUE will never exceed $40$ characters in length.
On exit: if the optional parameter supplied in OPTSTR is a character valued parameter, CVALUE will hold its current value, unless Identify is specified, see OPTSTR.
5:     OPTYPE – INTEGEROutput
On exit: indicates whether the optional parameter supplied in OPTSTR is an integer, real or character valued parameter and hence which of IVALUE, RVALUE or CVALUE holds the current value.
${\mathbf{OPTYPE}}=1$
OPTSTR is an integer valued optional parameter, its current value has been returned in IVALUE.
${\mathbf{OPTYPE}}=2$
OPTSTR is a real valued optional parameter, its current value has been returned in RVALUE.
${\mathbf{OPTYPE}}=3$
OPTSTR is a character valued optional parameter, its current value has been returned in CVALUE.
6:     IOPTS($*$) – INTEGER arrayCommunication Array
Note: the contents of IOPTS must not have been altered between calls to G02ZKF, G02ZLF and the selected problem solving routine.
On entry: the contents of IOPTS must not have been altered between calls to G02ZKF, G02ZLF and the selected problem solving routine.
7:     OPTS($*$) – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayCommunication Array
Note: the contents of OPTS must not have been altered between calls to G02ZKF, G02ZLF and the selected problem solving routine.
On entry: the contents of OPTS must not have been altered between calls to G02ZKF, G02ZLF and the selected problem solving routine.
8:     IFAIL – INTEGERInput/Output
On entry: IFAIL must be set to $0$, $-1\text{​ or ​}1$. If you are unfamiliar with this parameter you should refer to Section 3.3 in the Essential Introduction for details.
For environments where it might be inappropriate to halt program execution when an error is detected, the value $-1\text{​ or ​}1$ is recommended. If the output of error messages is undesirable, then the value $1$ is recommended. Otherwise, if you are not familiar with this parameter, the recommended value is $0$. When the value $-\mathbf{1}\text{​ or ​}\mathbf{1}$ is used it is essential to test the value of IFAIL on exit.
On exit: ${\mathbf{IFAIL}}={\mathbf{0}}$ unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

## 6  Error Indicators and Warnings

If on entry ${\mathbf{IFAIL}}={\mathbf{0}}$ or $-{\mathbf{1}}$, explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by X04AAF).
Errors or warnings detected by the routine:
${\mathbf{IFAIL}}=11$
On entry, the option in OPTSTR was not recognized.
${\mathbf{IFAIL}}=41$
On entry, OPTSTR identifies a character valued optional parameter. However, CVALUE is too short to contain the entire character string. The value returned in CVALUE will be therefore be truncated.
${\mathbf{IFAIL}}=61$
On entry, either the optional parameter arrays have not been initialized or they have been corrupted.

Not applicable.
