It was easily fixed of course. Yes, I see. The intention was that neither start nor count arguments should be used for a scalar, as illustrated in the test example. The start value has a default of 1, but the default for count involves the size(shape(values)), which is not defined for a scalar value. I'll modify the documentation to say that the otherwise optional start and count arguments should be omitted for scalar values. --Russ > > Although the f90 tutorial examples all write arrays, there's a test case > > (nf_test/f90tst_vars2.f90) in the source distribution that writes a single > > value to a > > scalar variable successfully and later reads the file to check that the > > right value gets > > read in: > > > > call check(nf90_put_var(ncid, varid3, TOE_SAN_VALUE)) > > ... > > call check(nf90_get_var(ncid, varid3_in, toe_san_in)) > > if (toe_san_in .ne.
