[netcdfgroup] netcdf4 -problems

[Henry Butowsky]

Hi all,

It seems that using netcdf4 API  with hdf5 files I have the following 
problem:

If a dimension is defined in the output file  -- then a  variable of the 
same name as the dimension  defined in output MUST have a single dim 
which is the same name a the defined dimension. This is not the case 
with netcdf3.
what I am saying is that the defined var  is OK as a co-ordinate var but 
not anything else


The below script illustrates the problem:

defdim("a",2);             //  dim *"a=2"* defined in output             
defdim("b",3);             //  dim *"b=3"* defined in output
defdim("c",4);             //  dim *"c=3"*  defined in output
a[$a,$b]=10.0;           // variable "a" defined as "*double a[a,b];*"  
works in netcdf3 but NOT netcdf4         
c[$c]=20.0                  // variable "c" defined as "*double c[c];" 
   *works in metcdf3 and netcdf4*      *


Regards Henry
