/************************************************************

  This example shows how to read and write enumerated
  datatypes to an attribute.  The program first writes
  enumerated values to an attribute with a dataspace of
  DIM0xDIM1, then closes the file.  Next, it reopens the
  file, reads back the data, and outputs it to the screen.
