, intn

)
dim_id
IN:
Dimension identifier returned from
SDgetdimid
comp_mode
IN:
Compatibility mode to be set
Purpose
Determines whether the specified dimension
will have
the old and new representations or the new representation only.
Return value
Returns either SUCCEED (or 0) on successful completion, or FAIL (or -1) otherwise.
Description
The comp_mode parameter is set to either SD_DIMVAL_BW_COMP, which specifies compatible mode and that the old and new dimension representations will be written to file , or SD_DIMVAL_BW_INCOMP, which specifies backward incompatible mode and that only the new dimension representation will be written to file.
Unlimited dimensions are always backward-compatable, therefore
SDsetdimval_comp
takes no action on unlimited dimensions.
As of HDF4.1r1, the default mode is backward-incompatable. Subsequent calls to
SDsetdimval_comp
will override the settings established in previous calls to the routine.`
