        subroutine ftgcnn(iunit,casesn,templt,colnam,colnum,status)

C       determine the column name and number corresponding to an input 
C       column name template string.  The template may contain the * and ?
C       wildcards.  Status = 237 is returned if match is not unique.
C       One may call this routine again with input status=237  to
C       get the next match.  

C       iunit   i  Fortran i/o unit number
C       casesn  l  true if an exact case match of the names is required
C       templt  c  templt for column name
C       colnam  c  name of (first) column that matchs the template
C       colnum  i  number of the column (first column = 1)
C                       (a value of 0 is returned if the column is not found)
C       status  i  returned error status
