Hi,

I missed to add a very important detail to my previous e-mail. As the sizes of ms_data(1)%biomass(:) and ms_data(1)%mortality(:) are not equal; also the sizes of ms_data(1)%biomass(:) and ms_data(2)%biomass(:) are not equal.

Regards,

Ekin

Hi,

Please let me put it this way. I have a user-defined type in FORTRAN called "ep_data" of dimension 4, i.e. ep_data(4). It has fields named biomass, pob, qob, ... etc. and so on. Each field holds a scalar value. For instance, if you print "ep_data(1)%biomass", it will give you, let's say, "4". In other words, fields of "ep_data" are not arrays. I succeeded to write this "ep_data" to HDF5 by using compound datatype. So no problem up till here. However, I have another user-defined type called "ms_data" in FORTRAN of size 7, i.e. , "ms_data(7)" and just like "ep_data", it also has fields named biomass, mortality, qob, ... etc. and so on. Differently from "ep_data" type, "ms_data" fields are arrays of different size. For instance, if you print "ms_data(1)%biomass(:)"|, you will get an array of real numbers. And if you print "ms_data(1)%mortality(:)", you also get an array of real numbers of different length that of "biomass" field. So, how can I store "ms_data" in HDF5 format?

For your reference, my FORTRAN implementation of storing "ep_data" is attached.

Regards,

Ekin

Hello,

I am sorry that I could not make myself clear. What I meant to say is that I aim to form a compound datatype which comprises VL (variable length) and fixed-length array fields/datatypes. In the example for creating VL datatype, using a user-defined datatype which includes a pointer is suggested (Example 27 on page 227 in the HDF user manual). That is what I want to avoid but it seems it is the only way. What I want to achieve is summarized in Figure 18 on page 238 in the HDF user manual; a compound datatype built up of numerous VL and atomic datatypes.

Hi,

suggestions about storing this data as a compound type with variable
length fields without using pointers as explained in
h5ex_t_vlen_F03.f90 [1] example script on HDF GROUP web site. Thank
you in advance for your concerns.

I don't understand what you mean by "not using pointers", do you mean you don't want to use C_LOC and/or F2003 and still do the same thing as h5ex_t_vlen_F03.f90? Can you explain further what in h5ex_t_vlen_F03.f90 you want to avoid doing?
