The default values for the database transfer functions were incorrectly assiged as integer literals, recast to types using real32/64 but actually corresponding to whatever integer kind equals real32/64. We now simply assign it a literal value of -1. and rely on the compiler to handle the recasting. Although none of these functions were intended to be used, and -1 would probably be eventually cast into an appropriate real type, it is better to get this correct. Thanks to Keith Lindsay for suggesting this change.
