Discussion

HDFPUTSDS is used to write an arbitrary array of data to an HDF file as a Scientific Data Set. The numeric data type and dimensions of the Scientific Data Set are based on the numeric data type and dimensions of the array passed. The Append keyword writes additional Scientific Data Sets to the HDF file.

Example 1

testfile = 'testsdsgen.hdf'
data = BINDGEN (11, 7, 5, 3)
status = HDFPUTSDS (testfile, data)
IF (status EQ FAIL) THEN  $
    MESSAGE, 'HDFPUTSDS failed for BYTE data.'

Example 2

data = INDGEN (6, 8, 7)
status = HDFPUTSDS (testfile, data, /Append)
IF (status EQ FAIL) THEN  $
    MESSAGE, 'HDFPUTSDS failed for INTEGER'+ '  data.'
