Caveats

  1. Does not work with unsigned integers (28 Oct 2008)

Bugs

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

Caveats

  1. Does not work with unsigned integers (28 Oct 2008)

    This tool does not work on keywords of the datatype UInt4 (unsigned integers). The parameter interface assumes that all integers are signed.

Bugs

  1. Cannot access the second element in a vector column (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]
