I have two files where the only difference is the variable type of the "feature_type_instance" variable.When using a Char array, it works just fine.

Is this a bug in NCJ?

Hi Kyle:CF only deals with classic netcdf data model, which doesnt have Strings. However, the CDM deals with the extended model wherever possible, so yes, i think this is a bug and we'll get it fixed.
