Filling compund data types in Fortran

Hdf-forum archives

How do I fill a dataset containing a compound type in Fortran? For example

TYPE MYTYPE
   INTEGER ,DIMENSION(100) :: INTS
   CHARACTER(LEN=1000) :: STR
END TYPE

The H5Pset_fill_value_f routine seems to be overloaded for integer, real and character. Calling it with an integer fill value sets all the INTS(1) in the dataset to this value, everything else is junk.

Thanks

I've just realised that you have to do the fill field at a time. Sorry for wasting anybody's time.

In release 1.8.8 (build with --enable-fortran2003) you can pass the compound datatype type_id directly. An example how to do this is in "SUBROUTINE test_create" in fortran/test/tH5P_F03.f90 of the hdf5 source.
