Routine Names

HDS objects are created, accessed, modified and deleted in programs by means of calls to HDS routines. The routine names have the following structure:

<pkg>_<func><qual>

where <pkg> is the "package name", <func> represents the function performed by the routine and <qual> is a qualifier which is used to identify different versions of the GET, MAP, MOD, NEW and PUT routines.
