DB_ENT2HOST
Converts a database entry from external data format to host format.
All items are extracted from the entry, and then converted to host
format, and placed back into the entry. Called from DBRD and DBEXT_DBF.
DB_ENT2HOST, ENTRY, DBNO
ENTRY = Byte array containing a single record read from the
database file.
DBNO = Number of the opened database file.
ENTRY = The converted array is returned in place of the input array.
DB_COM
Version 1, William Thompson, GSFC/CDS (ARC), 1 June 1994
Version 2, William Thompson, GSFC/CDS (ARC), 15 September 1995
Fixed bug where only the first element in a
multidimensional array was converted.
Version 3, Richard Schwartz, GSFC/SDAC, 23 August 1996
Allow 2 dimensional byte arrays for entries to facilitate
multiple entry processing. Pass IDLTYPE onto IEEE_TO_HOST
Converted to IDL V5.0 W. Landsman September 1997
Version 4, 2 May 2003, W. Thompson
Use BSWAP keyword to DBXVAL instead of calling IEEE_TO_HOST.
