NAME
       MPI_Type_create_indexed_block - Creates an indexed data type with the same block length for all blocks.

SYNTAX
C Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Type_create_indexed_block(int count, int blocklength, int array_of_displacements[], MPI_Datatype oldtype, MPI_Datatype *newtype)

Fortran Syntax
       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_TYPE_CREATE_INDEXED_BLOCK(COUNT, BLOCKLENGTH,
		 ARRAY_OF_DISPLACEMENTS, OLDTYPE, NEWTYPE, IERROR)
	    INTEGER   COUNT, BLOCKLENGTH, ARRAY_OF_DISPLACEMENTS(*),
		    OLDTYPE, NEWTYPE, IERROR

C++ Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       MPI::Datatype MPI::Datatype::Create_indexed_block( int count,
	    int blocklength, const int array_of_displacements[]) const

INPUT PARAMETERS
       count	 Length of array of displacements (integer).

       blocklength
		 Size of block (integer).

       array_of_displacements
		 Array of displacements (array of integers).

       oldtype	 Old data type (handle).

OUTPUT PARAMETERS
       newtype	 New data type (handle).

       IERROR	 Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION
       MPI_Type_create_indexed_block creates an indexed data type with the same block length for all blocks.

ERRORS
       Almost all MPI routines return an error value; C routines as the value of the function and Fortran routines in the last argument. C++ func-
       tions do not return errors. If the default error handler is set to MPI::ERRORS_THROW_EXCEPTIONS, then on error the C++ exception  mechanism
       will be used to throw an MPI:Exception object.

       Before  the error value is returned, the current MPI error handler is called. By default, this error handler aborts the MPI job, except for
       I/O function errors. The error handler may be changed with MPI_Comm_set_errhandler; the predefined error handler MPI_ERRORS_RETURN  may	be
       used to cause error values to be returned. Note that MPI does not guarantee that an MPI program can continue past an error.
