ms.setbufferflags - Function

	Package	general
	Module	ms
	Tool	ms

Set the flags in the buffer

Synopsis
setbufferflags(flags)

Arguments

flags		record with flag and flag_row
		Allowed:	Record

Returns
Bool, True if operation successful

Description
Replace the flag and flag_row fields in the internal buffer with those in the input record. The input record can e.g., be a modified version of the record returned by getbuffer(). The other fields in the record are ignored.

Example

myms:=ms("3C273XC1.MS",F);
myms.select([antenna1=3]);
myms.fillbuffer("PHASE");
rec:=myms.getbuffer();
rec.flag_row[17]:=T;
myms.setbufferflags(rec);

We open the MS for reading, select a subset and read the data. We get the data into Glish, flag timeslot 17 and put the modified flags back into the buffer.
