HDISPLAY

Displays the contents of a given HDS primitive of up to and including 7-dimensions. A subset of the data may be specified, although by default the whole object is displayed.

Each data type is output in some default format, unless overridden by a user-supplied FORTRAN format-string.

By default the output goes to the terminal assuming a page width of 80 columns, but it may also be sent to the P)rinter, N)ewfile or O)ldfile when a page width of 132 columns is assumed. If your terminal is in 132 column mode you can override the default width to take advantage of this. If a file is selected then output will go to the file with logical name AST_LIST.
