[netCDF #YTY-788071]: netcdf 4 GB variable size questions



Hi Jason,

Earlier in this thread, you wrote that you were able

  ... to generate a file with a 32 GB variable size so the libraries appear
  to be working correctly.

That was on an SGI Altix platform.  Is this a new platform on which you can't
write large variables?  Are you remembering to use either the NC_NETCDF4 flag
(for C programs) or the NF90_NETCDF4 flag (for Fortran 90 programs) in the
file creation call, to specify that you want a netCDF-4 file rather than the
default classic-format file?

As an example, in Fortran-90 you would use something like

  status = nf90_create(path = "foo.nc", cmode =
  or(NF90_NOCLOBBER,NF90_NETCDF4), ncid = ncid)
