data_type

OUT:

Data type of data in the scientific dataset

	Purpose	Retrieves the data type of the next dataset to be read.
	Return value	Returns SUCCEED (or 0) if successful and FAIL (or -1) otherwise.
	Description	Note that DFSDgetNT 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 DFSDgetNT. One such call is DFSDgetdims.
		Valid values for data_type are of the general form DFNT_. The following are valid symbolic names and their data types:

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	4

	FORTRAN	integer function dsgnt(num_type)
		integer num_type
