DFSDsetrange/dssrang

intn DFSDsetrange(VOIDP max, VOIDP min)

max	IN:	Highest value in the range
min	IN:	Lowest value in the range

Purpose	Stores the specified maximum and minimum data values.
Return value	Returns SUCCEED (or 0) if successful and FAIL (or -1) otherwise.
Description	It is assumed that the data type of max and min is the same as the type of the data. One implication of this is that in the C version of DFSDsetrange the arguments are pointers, rather than simple variables, whereas in the Fortran-77 version they are simple variables of the same type as the data array.
	This routine does not compute the maximum and minimum values; it merely stores the values it is given. As a result, the maximum and minimum values may not always reflect the actual maximum and minimum values in the data array.
	When the maximum and minimum values are written to a file, the HDF element that holds these values is cleared, because it is assumed that subsequent datasets will have different values for max and min.
Example	In this example 16-bit data is written to an HDF file. Notice that max and min must be the same data type as the scientific dataset array data.

     int16 max, min, data[100][100];

      ...

     DFSDsetrange(&max, &min);
     DFSDadddata("myfile.hdf", rank, dims, data);
