NAME

cxDataAllocErrorClear - return data memory allocation error

C SPECIFICATION

#include <cx/DataAccess.h>

void cxDataAllocErrorClear ()

FORTRAN SPECIFICATION

subroutine cxDataAllocErrorClear

DESCRIPTION

cxDataAllocErrorClear resets the flag indicating that data memory is exhausted. This allows module writers to implement their own recovery schemes when data allocation fails. For example, since modules execute in parallel, memory requirements fluctuate. It is possible that the required memory will be available in a few seconds, so the module may wait a short period and request the data again. If possible, the module could also reduce the memory requirements and try again. IRIS Explorer system modules simply send an alert message to the user and return from the current execution.

For more information on programming techniques for modules with a limited amount of shared memory, see Appendix B of the IRIS Explorer Module Writer's Guide.
