subroutine rotabc (global, iBC, code)
c---------------------------------------------------------------------
c 
c This subroutine is responsible for rotating 
c the residual and solution vectors for axisymmetric BC's.
c
c input:   
c     global(nshg,n): global vector to be rotated.
c     code:            = 'in' for rotating with the residual
c                      = 'out' for rotating the solution 
c
c  note that the cos and sin of the rotation angles are preprocessed and
c  stored in acs(1 and 2) respectively.
