Hello,

As a complement, always print the value of the status (and anything
which may help) when you tell user there is an error.
In both cases you did have a status of -39 which is "Operation not
allowed in define mode".

- redef not allowed when already in define mode (after a file creation
in this case). IMO it shoud have do nothing in this case but it is not
implemented this way.
- put/get data not allowed too when defining the file.

This is not needed only with netcdf4 files (nc_redef and nc_enddef are
automatic).
