[netCDF #KRE-382151]: NF_PUT_ATT_type



Hi Julian,

> 
> When I use the function NF_PUT_ATT_TEXT as you suggest, I obtain no

I cannot duplicate the error you are reporting.  Could you please try comiling
and linking the following netCDF Fortran-77 program, which defines two simple
text attributes and writes them to a file named "pa.nc".  Then look at the
output of running the command "ncdump pa.nc" to see if it is what you expect.

If not, please send a small program that demonstrates the problem that we can
use to duplicate it here.  Thanks!

      if(stat .ne. NF_NOERR) call handle_err(stat)

      stat = nf_def_var(ncid, "var", NF_INT, 0, 0, var_id)
      if(stat .ne. NF_NOERR) call handle_err(stat)

      stat = nf_put_att_text(ncid, NF_GLOBAL, "gatt1", 8, "a string")

      stat = nf_put_att_text(ncid, var_id, "att1", 9, "some text")
      if(stat .ne. NF_NOERR) call handle_err(stat)

      stat = nf_enddef (ncid)
      if(stat .ne. NF_NOERR) call handle_err(stat)

      stat = nf_close(ncid)
      if(stat .ne. NF_NOERR) call handle_err(stat)

      end

      subroutine handle_err(errcode)

      print *, 'Error: ', nf_strerror(errcode)
      stop 2
