The above message contained the following:

>  I have a problem of creating a netcdf file correctly. Following is my
> source file, test.f90
> 
>  program test
> 
>  implicit none
>  include 'netcdf.inc'
> integer :: ierr , ncid
> integer :: timdmid, varid, il
> 
> ierr = nf_create('test.nc',nf_clobber, ncid)
> ierr = nf_def_dim(ncid, 'time', nf_unlimited, timdmid)
> ierr = nf_def_var(ncid, 'temp', nf_double, 1, timdmid, varid)

The "timdmid" argument in the last statement above should be a vector
instead of a scalar.  The first element of the vector should have the
same value as "timdmid".

Details of the netCDF Fortran-77 API can be found at

> ierr = nf_enddef(ncid)
> 
> do il = 1, 10
> ierr = nf_put_var_double(ncid, varid,1.0) 
> enddo
> ierr = nf_close(ncid)
> end program

You should also check the return code "ierr" every time.
