DAT_CLONE - Clone locator   

Description:
Clone (duplicate) a locator.
Invocation:
CALL DAT_CLONE( LOC1, LOC2, STATUS )

Arguments:
LOC1 = CHARACTER * ( DAT__SZLOC ) (Given)
Object locator.
LOC2 = CHARACTER * ( DAT__SZLOC ) (Returned)
Object locator.
STATUS = INTEGER (Given and Returned)
The global status.

Notes:
All information is inherited except that concerned with any mapped primitive data and the primary/secondary locator characteristic (a secondary locator is always produced - see DAT_PRMRY). A call to this routine is NOT equivalent to the Fortran statement "LOC2 = LOC1".
