[daip] Adding image units

Dear AIPS HelpDesk,

I'm wondering if there's a way of adding image units inside AIPS to an
imported FITS file? The image in question has Jy/beam as the units. I have
added the beam using 'ADDBEAM'. Next I'd like to integrate flux. 'IMSTAT'
doesn't give any flux density and my guess is that it's because it wasn't
able to retrieve that information from the FITS file even though the FITS
file does have an entry --> [META_5  = 'Jy/beam '           / Unit of the
signal].

AIPS 1: Conv size=  18.00 X  18.00   Position angle=   0.00
AIPS 1: Maximum version number of extension files of type HI is   1

Is there a quick and easy solution to this? Thanks in advance.

With regards,
