Reggie,

NC_MAX_DIMS is the maximum number of dimension per file, it is
not the limit to defining a dimension.

>Can different arrays with the same size use the same dimension
>id?

Yes, absolutely.  For instance, you might be storing lots of
variables that are all a function of time.  Time, in this case,
is a natural dimension for all of them.

>Your information is very much appreciated.

You are wlecome.
