Convert degrees, arcminutes, arcseconds to radians (single precision).
CALL:
CALL sla_CAF2R (IDEG, IAMIN, ASEC, RAD, J)
GIVEN:
IDEG
I
degrees
IAMIN
I
arcminutes
ASEC
R
arcseconds
RETURNED:
RAD
R
angle in radians
J
I
status:
1 = IDEG outside range 0-359
2 = IAMIN outside range 0-59
3 = ASEC outside range 0-59.999
NOTES:
1.
The result is computed even if any of the range checks fail.
2.
The sign must be dealt with outside this routine.
