    Hi Kevin.<br>
    <br>
    Your RequestInformation looks a little bare. Unless things have
    changed recently, you might need to set WHOLE_EXTENT, ORIGIN,
    SPACING, CAN_PRODUCE_SUB_EXTENT keys there. and if you support
    parallel IO honor the requested extent in RequestData.<br>

          a debugger on the code, and it seems like these functions from
