In an effort to maximize the readability of my cdl files, I entered
extensive multi-line comments in the :units attribute. This worked fine on
a sun running SunOS, but not on HP-UX or SGI, which bumped up against a 200
character limit.
So my question is, what is the best way to include documention like the
following in a cdl file?
THIS FAILS ON SOME MACHINES:
byte correctedFlag(recNum);
correctedFlag:long_name ="Corrected data indicator";
correctedFlag:units = "
r = raw data,
l = data that has undergone lat/lon correction
(other than interpolation),
T = data that has undergone temperature correction,
f = longitude and wind direction flipped,
t = obs time has been set to the report receipt time
";
