<H2><U>Creating datasets in groups</U></H2>      
We have shown how to create groups, datasets and attributes. In this section,
we show how to create datasets in groups. Recall that H5Dcreate creates a
dataset at the location specified by a location identifier and a name. Similar to
H5Gcreate, the location identifier can be a file identifier or a group identifier and the name can be
relative or absolute. The location identifier and the name together determine the
location where the dataset is to be created. If the location identifier and name
refers to a group, then the dataset is created in that group.


<H2> Programming Example</H2>

<H3><U>Description</U></H3>      
This example shows how to create a dataset in a particular group.
It opens the file created in the previous example and creates two datasets.<BR>
