The routine DATVAR returns the value of a variable defined in the header of a data file.
The call is: | V = DATVAR (CNAME) |

The call is: | XRAY = DATRAY (NCOLUMN) |

The routine DATMAT creates an array containing the whole current data block of the data file.
The call is: | XRAY = DATMAT () |
The routine DATBLK sets the current data block of a data file.
The call is: | ISTAT = DATBLK (NBLOCK) |
