form of the 2-character field names used by RSL, such as
'DZ', 'VR', etc.

| ERROR
|
Set this keyword to a variable to return the error status. A value of 1 is
returned for error, 0 otherwise.

Example
Write the contents of radar in UF to file new.uf.
rsl_radar_to_uf, radar, 'new.uf'
Write radar contents and compress the UF file. File name will be
new.uf.gz
rsl_radar_to_uf, radar, 'new.uf', /compress
This could also be done without the COMPRESS keyword by including '.gz' in the
file name:
rsl_radar_to_uf, radar, 'new.uf.gz'
