Chandrasekhar, the function H5Tget_member_value is for enumeration datatypes, not for compound datatypes. (See https://portal.hdfgroup.org/display/HDF5/H5T_GET_MEMBER_VALUE)
Can you send us the h5dump -pBH output of your compound type and tell us which field(s)
you want to read? (You can read just a subset of fields of a “larger” compound, by defining a “smaller” compound as the in-memory type. See https://bitbucket.hdfgroup.org/projects/HDFFV/repos/hdf5-examples/browse/1_10/C/H5T/h5ex_t_cpxcmpd.c)

Hi gheber,

please find h5HDFFile.docx (624.0 KB)
dump of it , I have to read the DATATYPE H5T_COMPOUND values of every DATASET highlighted with red text

sample in example

typedef struct {
int serial_no;
char location;
double temperature;

Is their is any API / example we can read without defining structures
