DFSDsetNT/dssnt

intn DFSDsetNT(int32 data_type)

data_type

IN:

Data type

Purpose

Sets the data type of the data to be written in the next write operation.

Return value

Returns SUCCEED (or 0) if successful and FAIL (or -1) otherwise.

Description

DFSDsetNT must be called if a data type other than float32 is to be stored. DFSDsetNT and DFSDsetdims can be called in any order, but they should be called before any other DFSDset* functions and before DFSDputdata or DFSDadddata.

The following symbolic names can be used as the value of data_type:


32-bit float


DFNT_FLOAT32


5


64-bit float


DFNT_FLOAT64


6


8-bit signed int


DFNT_INT8


20


8-bit unsigned int


DFNT_UINT8


21


16-bit signed int


DFNT_INT16


22


16-bit unsigned int


DFNT_UINT16


23


32-bit signed int


DFNT_INT32


24


32-bit unsigned int


DFNT_UINT32


25


8-bit character


DFNT_CHAR8
