7.1.1 Reserving a new dump record

A new dump record must be created and initialized using

c-----------------------------------------------------------------------
      subroutine reserve_dump(name,ifil,method,length)
c-----------------------------------------------------------------------
      implicit double precision (a-h,o-z)
      character*(*) method

Input parameters:

name

record name (integer, required)

ifil

file number (if zero, the default file 2 is assumed)

method

a string (max 8 characters) describing method (e.g., hf, rhf, uhf, mcscf)

length

length to be reserved in words (can be extended by sreibw)

Nothing is written to the record by this routine! Don't forget to flush the header information to the file using flush_dump when you are done with a record.
