Use:          INTEGER GDS_FTYPE( SET ,    Input    CHARACTER*(*)
                                 ERROR )  Output   INTEGER

              GDS_FTYPE     Returns the type of floating point used in
                            the data set. Can be one of:
                            0 = IEEE High Endian (BLANK=-Inf)
                            1 = IEEE Low Endian (BLANK=-Inf)
                            2 = CONVEX Native format
                            3 = VAX D Floating
                            4 = VAX G Floating
                            5 = IEEE High Endian (BLANK=-FLT_MAX)
                            6 = IEEE Low Endian (BLANK=-FLT_MAX)
              SET           Name or handle of set.
              ERROR         Error return code.
