NAME

     MDI_DPC_decode, MDI_dpc_decode - decode a MDI  Data  Product
     Code.

Syntax

     #include <MDI.h>

     struct DPC  MDI_DPC_decode (unsigned long dpc);
     struct DPC  MDI_dpc_decode (char *dpc);

DESCRIPTION

       unsigned short limbparam;
       char origin;
       char channel;
       char product;
       char observable;
       char cadence;
       char version;
       char format;
       char conforms;
     };

DIAGNOSTICS

BUGS

     The information is extracted according to the standard rules
     for construction of DPC's, and is not guaranteed to be accu-
     rate.  Certain DPC's known to be non-conforming  are  inter-
     preted  according to their actual use and in those cases the
     DPC.conforms element is set to 0.
