= PDAFomi_set_id_obs_p =

This page documents the routine `PDAFomi_set_id_obs_p` of PDAF. The routine was introduced by PDAF version 2.3.1.

The routine allocates and fills `thisobs%id_obs_p`. It avoids to directly initialize elements of the data type `thisobs` in the code, which can be problematic in some programming languages.

For details on `thisobs%id_obs_p` see the [wiki:OMI_observation_modules documentation of OMI observation modules].

The interface is:
{{{
  SUBROUTINE PDAFomi_set_doassim(thisobs, nobs_p, ntps, id_obs_p)

    TYPE(obs_f), INTENT(inout) :: thisobs           ! Observation type
    INTEGER, INTENT(in) :: nobs_p                   ! number of process-local observations
    INTEGER, INTENT(in) :: npts                     ! number of points used in observation operator
    INTEGER, INTENT(in) :: id_obs_p(nobs_p, npts)   ! Observation index array
}}}

'''Note: '''
 * When using Fortran, one can also initialize `thisobs%id_obs_p` directly
