Hi Elena, Binh-Minh, Quincey -
The work around provided by Binh-Minh works good with HDF5-1.6.5.
Thanks for your the support. 
Thanks

Re: Question on HDF5 C++ Interfaces in -1.6.5/1.6.6/1.6.7
Anish,
Could you please try a workaround recommended by Binh-Minh?
Please let us know if it worked. But we will not be able to fix 1.6.5, so
please use newest version of HDF5 if possible.
Thank you!
Elena

Hi Elena,
The C++ API constructor DataType(PredType::NATIVE_INT) had a bug in 1.6.5
and returned an incorrect id, which was 80 in this case, so I fixed it and
since then it returns the correct one. Hmm, I just repeated what he said,
didn?t I? I think he can use DataType::copy to work around but I?ll have
to check when I get back.
Talk to you later!

Hi Quincey, Elena
This code attached below works well with HDF5- 1.6.6/1.6.7/1.8.0/1.8.1 on
windows/Linux.
However, since infrastructure is currently comprised with HDF5 -1.6.5, i
found that some of my application interface code that was developed using
HDF1.6.6 was not working with HDF5-1.6.5.
//*************************
hsize_t dimsf1[]={1};
H5File file("c:\\testhdf5165.h5", H5F_ACC_TRUNC );
//This objects gets created but return with a ID of 80
DataType type(PredType::NATIVE_INT);
DataSpace sid1(1, dimsf1);
DataSet dset = file.createDataSet("dset",type,sid1);
//*************************
back trace:
-----------------

Function:

Question: Is there a work around to create a DataType Object properly, so
that createDataSet would work on HDF1.6.5 ?
On all versions after 1.6.5, the DataType object gets constructed well
and gives a good ID, not 80.
Thanks
Anish
