+ * Purpose:     To convert the committed datatype "dt" to a transient embedded
+ *		type if the file location associated with the committed datatype is 
+ *		different from the parameter "f".  
+ *		"f" is the file location where the dataset or attribute will be created.
+ *
+ * Notes:       See HDFFV-9940
