This function defines dimensions that are used by the field definition routines (described subsequently) to establish the size of the field.

Examples


In this example, we define a dimension, Band, with size 15:.

status = EOS_GD_DEFDIM(gridID, "Band", 15)

To specify an unlimited dimension that can be used to define an appendable array, the dimension value should be set to zero:

status = EOS_GD_DEFDIM(gridID, "Unlim", 0)

Syntax


Result = EOS_GD_DEFDIM(gridID, dimname, dim)

Return Value


Returns SUCCEED(0) if successful and FAIL(–1) otherwise.

Arguments


gridID

Grid id (long) returned by EOS_GD_CREATE or EOS_GD_ATTACH.

dimname

Name of dimension to be defined (string).

dim

The size of the dimension (long).
