Hi

I am a relative newbie to GIS programming so forgive me if I use the wrong 
terminology or don't state my problem in the most efficient GIS terms. Anyway, 
I have inherited a project written by an actual GIS person who is no longer 
with the company.

The DTED data consists of 4 GDalDatasets with actual DTED elevation data not 
reaching the boundaries of GDalDatasets - i.e., GDalDatasets are bigger than 
the actual DTED data.  Our program reads the elevation data along a bearing 
line from a given point to some requested distance, at regular intervals, by 
repeatedly calling GDALRasterBand->RasterIO for a specified distance.  What I 
am seeing is that elevation values of 0 are returned for points between the end 
of the DTED data and the end of the tile.

Is there any way I can distinguish between the situation above and an actual 
elevation of 0?  RasterIO always returns CE_None and the returned value is 
never equal to noDataValue.

Thanks
Mel
