DAT_MSG - Assign the name of an HDS object to a message token

Description:
The routine assigns the full name (including the file name) of an HDS object to a message token for use with the ERR_ and MSG_ routines (SUN/104) or with the EMS_ routines (SSN/4). Appropriate syntax is used to represent file names which do not have the standard `.sdf' file extension.

Invocation:
CALL DAT_MSG( TOKEN, LOC )

Arguments:
TOKEN = CHARACTER * ( * ) (Given)
Name of the message token.
LOC = CHARACTER * ( DAT__SZLOC ) (Given)
Locator to the HDS object.

Notes:
  • This routine has no STATUS argument and does not perform normal error checking. If it should fail, then no value will be assigned to the message token and this will be apparent in the final message.
