+! This example shows how to create and write a dataset attribute. 
+! It opens the existing file 'dset.h5', obtains the identifier of
+! the dataset "/dset", defines attribute's dataspace, 
+! creates dataset attribute, writes the attribute, and then closes
+! the attribute's dataspace, attribute, dataset, and file.
