Bugs

  1. Cannot access the second element in a vector column [New](07 Mar 2008)

    dmkeypar cannot be used to get information from the second element in a vector column, e.g. the second R value from a wavdetect source file:

    unix% dmlist s3_src.fits"[cols R][#row=1]" data
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Data for Table Block SRCLIST
    --------------------------------------------------------
    
    ROW    R[2]
    
         1 [        3.8186242580         2.8336687088]
    

Bugs fixed in CIAO 3.4

The following is a list of bugs that were fixed in the CIAO 3.4 software release.

  1. The tool should not be used to read data from array columns that are part of a vector. (01 Jun 2006)

    dmkeypar will access the first X value correctly, but not the first Y value in the vector array column (when the length of the array is > 1).

    Examples of such a column are the "x", "y", and "pos" columns below:

    -----------------------------------------------------------------
    Columns for Table Block REGION
    -----------------------------------------------------------------
    
    ColNo  Name                 Unit        Type             Range
       1   POS(X,Y)[11]         pixel        Real8(11)      -Inf:+Inf
       2   SHAPE                             String[16]
       3   R[2]                 pixel        Real8(2)       -Inf:+Inf
       4   ROTANG[2]            pixel        Real8(2)       -Inf:+Inf
