DFSDgetfillvalue/dsgfill

intn DFSDgetfillvalue(VOIDP fill_value)

fill_value OUT:

Fill value

Purpose

Retrieves the fill value of a DFSD scientific dataset.

Return value

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

Description

The fill value is set by DFSDsetfillvalue and returned in the variable fill_value. Note that DFSDgetfillvalue does not take a file name as an argument. As a result, a DFSD call to initialize the file information structures is required before calling DFSDgetfillvalue. One such call is DFSDgetdims.

FORTRAN

integer function dsgfill(fill_value)

character*(*) fill_value
