Hi Drouineau,

There is an example of writing a variable with 2 unlimited dimensions in the
netCDF-4 source distribution, in the program

  libsrc4/tst_dims.c

If you built netCDF-4 and ran "make check", then this program should have been
compiled and run successfully, while printing out the message

  *** Testing file with two unlimited dimensions...ok

I don't see any problems with your example code.  When I compile and run it
linked
to the netcdf-4 library, it runs without error and creates the file
tst_large.nc.  When
I run the netCDF-4 ncdump on the file, it looks OK:

$ ../ncdump/ncdump tst_large.nc
netcdf tst_large {
dimensions:
        time = UNLIMITED ; // (10 currently)
        beam = UNLIMITED ; // (1000 currently)
variables:
        double depth(time, beam) ;
data:

 depth =
  1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000,
 ...

What is the indication you are seeing that your example is not successful?
