that order.

Synopsis
CHARACTER*64 MPNAME,NAME
NAME=MPNAME(IAIN)
Usage
Given the declaration "CHARACTER*64 MPNAME,NAME", the executable statement "NAME=MPNAME(IAIN)" will
retrieve in NAME the name of the area with area identifier IAIN. For example, if IMAD is the area
identifier of the little island in Lake Superior called "Lake Madeline", then MPNAME(IMAD) = 'Madeline
Island (Lake Superior)'.
To get the name of the area, at a specified level, that contains an area with a specified area
identifier, use MPNAME in combination with MPIOAR. For example, MPNAME(MPIOAR(IMAD,3)) = 'Conterminous
US', and MPNAME(MPIOAR(IMAD,2)) = 'North America'.
