//
// ABSTRACT: This include file contains info on all the available
//   GRIB2 Product Definition Templates used in Section 4 (PDS).
//   The information describing each template is stored in the
//   pdstemplate structure defined below.
//
//   Each Template has three parts: The number of entries in the template
//   (mappdslen);  A map of the template (mappds), which contains the
//   number of octets in which to pack each of the template values; and
//   a logical value (needext) that indicates whether the Template needs
//   to be extended.  In some cases the number of entries in a template
//   can vary depending upon values specified in the "static" part of
//   the template.  ( See Template 4.3 as an example )
//
//   NOTE:  Array mappds contains the number of octets in which the
//   corresponding template values will be stored.  A negative value in
//   mappds is used to indicate that the corresponding template entry can
//   contain negative values.  This information is used later when packing
//   (or unpacking) the template data values.  Negative data values in GRIB
//   are stored with the left most bit set to one, and a negative number
//   of octets value in mappds[] indicates that this possibility should
//   be considered.  The number of octets used to store the data value
//   in this case would be the absolute value of the negative value in
//   mappds[].
//
// 2005-12-08  Gilbert  -  Allow negative scale factors and limits for
//                         Templates 4.5 and 4.9
