     :                       DIMS, STATUS )
*+
*  Name:
*     BDI_GETR

*  Purpose:
*     Get the named items as REAL with specified dimensions

*  Language:
*     Starlink Fortran

*  Invocation:
*     CALL BDI_GETR( ID, ITEMS, NDIM, DIMX, DATA, DIMS, STATUS )

*  Description:
*     Retrieves the items specified by the ITEMS string as REAL
*     values.

*  Arguments:
*     ID = INTEGER (given)
*        ADI identifier of BinDS, Array or Scalar object, or derivatives
*        thereof
*     ITEMS = CHARACTER*(*) (given)
*        List of items to be read
*     NDIM = INTEGER (given)
*        The dimensionality of the users data buffer
*     DIMX[NDIM] = INTEGER (given) 
*        The dimensions of the users buffer
*     DATA[] = REAL (returned)
*        The returned data
*     DIMS[] = INTEGER (returned)
*        The actual sizes of the data written the users buffer
*     STATUS = INTEGER (given and returned)
*        The global status.
