Re: ut_inv_calendar

Maybe you could write you own "wrapper" that has the
same arguments ...

UNTESTED

function UT_INV_CLAENDAR(time, opt)

local OPT, DATE, iDATE, dimDATE, rank

begin

    OPT = opt

    if (opt.eq.5) then

        OPT = 0

    end if

    DATE = ut_calendar(time, OPT)

    if (opt.eq.5) then

          dimDATE = dimsizes(DATE)

          rank = dimsizes(dimDATE)

          if (rank.eq.2) then

              iDATE = new( dimsizes(DATE), "integer", "No_FillValue")

              iDATE(:,0) = floattointeger(DATE(:,0))

              iDATE(:,1) = floattointeger(DATE(:,1))

              iDATE(:,2) = floattointeger(DATE(:,2))

              iDATE(:,3) = floattointeger(DATE(:,3))

              iDATE(:,4) = floattointeger(DATE(:,4))

              iDATE(:,5) = floattointeger(DATE(:,5))

         else

              iDATE = new( 6, "integer", "No_FillValue")

              iDATE(0) = floattointeger(DATE(0))

              iDATE(1) = floattointeger(DATE(1))

              iDATE(2) = floattointeger(DATE(2))

              iDATE(3) = floattointeger(DATE(3))

              iDATE(4) = floattointeger(DATE(4))

              iDATE(5) = floattointeger(DATE(5))

         end if

         return(iDATE)

    else

        return(DATE)

    end if
end
