       and the object headers point to it.  The space savings is

 <ta/FONT><I><P>Named datatypes.</I>  Normally each dataset has its own datatype, but sometimes we may want to share a datatype among several datasets.  This can be done using a <I>named </I>datatype. A named datatype is stored in the file independently of any dataset, and referenced by all datasets that have that datatype.  Named datatypes may have an associated attributes list.
