Table of contents
CSPICE_EKNELT returns the number of elements in a specified column entry
in the current row.
Given:
selidx the index of the column in the SELECT from which to retrieve
data. The range of 'selidx' is 1:nsel inclusive, where
'nsel' is the number of items in the SELECT clause of the
current query.
[1,1] = size(inst); int32 = class(inst)
row the index of the row containing the element.
[1,1] = size(inst); int32 = class(inst)
This number refers to a member of the set of rows matching
a query. 'row' must be in the range
1:nmrows
where 'nmrows' is the matching row count returned
by cspice_ekfind.
the call:
[nelt] = cspice_eknelt( selidx, row )
returns:
nelt the number of elements in the column entry belonging to the
specified column in the specified row.
[1,1] = size(inst); int32 = class(inst)
Null entries in variable-size columns are considered to have
size 1.
None.
Any numerical results shown for this example may differ between
platforms as the results depend on the SPICE kernels used as input
and the machine specific arithmetic implementation.
1) Perform a query on an EK file that contains a database with
the different commands of the Deep Impact spacecraft subsystem,
and a table with the commands, their parameter names and the
parameters' ranges. The parameter's ranges are provided in a
a character column with variable number of items. Obtain the
parameter ranges for given parameter name for all commands that
use that parameter.
Use the EK kernel below to load the Deep Impact spacecraft
subsystem commands dictionary.

% The file "test_file.EK" contains the table 'vector_1', and

% precision values.

%
% Define a set of constraints to perform a query on all
% loaded EK files (the SELECT clause). In this case select

%
% Check whether an error occurred while processing the
% SELECT clause. If so, output the error message.

% returned these data in the second column, which may have
% multiple elements.
%

%
% Use cspice_ekgc to retrieve the value from

% Output the value, if non-null data exist at the
% requested position.

end
end
%
% Clear the kernel pool and database. Note, you don't normally
% unload an EK after a query, rather at the end of a program.

This routine is meant to be used in conjunction with the EK fetch
entry points cspice_ekgc, cspice_ekgd, and cspice_ekgi. This routine
allows the caller of those routines to determine appropriate
loop bounds to use to fetch each column entry in the current row.
1) If this routine is called when no E-kernels have been loaded,
the error SPICE(NOLOADEDFILES) is signaled by a routine in the
call tree of this routine.
2) If `selidx' is outside of the range established by the last query
passed to the EK search engine, the error SPICE(INVALIDINDEX) is
signaled by a routine in the call tree of this routine.
3) If `row' is outside of the range established by the last query passed
to the EK search engine, the error SPICE(INVALIDINDEX) is signaled by
a routine in the call tree of this routine.
4) If any of the input arguments, `selidx' or `row', is
undefined, an error is signaled by the Matlab error handling
system.
5) If any of the input arguments, `selidx' or `row', is not of
the expected type, or it does not have the expected dimensions
and size, an error is signaled by the Mice interface.
This routine reads binary "sequence component" EK files.
In order for a binary EK file to be accessible to this routine,
the file must be "loaded" via a call to the routine cspice_furnsh.
Text format EK files cannot be used by this routine; they must
first be converted by binary format by the NAIF Toolkit utility
SPACIT.
None.
MICE.REQ
EK.REQ
None.
