# 4.14. New Datatype Manipulation Functions

Up: Miscellany Next: Type Constructors with Explicit Addresses Previous: Error Handlers for Files

New functions are provided to supplement the type manipulation functions that have address sized integer arguments. The new functions will use, in their Fortran binding, address-sized INTEGERs, thus solving problems currently encountered when the application address range is > 232. Also, a new, more convenient type constructor is provided to modify the lower bound and extent of a datatype. The deprecated functions replaced by the new functions here are listed in Section Deprecated Names and Functions .
