Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.
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 "; ------------------------- William R.
