= PDAFomi_set_name =

This page documents the routine `PDAFomi_set_name` of PDAF. The routine will be part of the final release of PDAF V3.0.

The routine sets `thisobs%name`. 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%name` see the [wiki:OMI_observation_modules_PDAF3 documentation of OMI observation modules].

The interface is:
{{{
  SUBROUTINE PDAFomi_set_name(thisobs, obsname)

    TYPE(obs_f), INTENT(inout) :: thisobs     ! Observation type
    CHARACTER(len=20), INTENT(in) :: obsname  ! Name of observation type
}}}

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