Hi, This was a bug in the ncdump distributed with netCDF 4.0, and was fixed in later "snapshot" releases. You can either try a current "snapshot" release available from ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/snapshot/netcdf-4-daily.tar.gz or wait until the 4.0.1 release is announced and made available in October. Thanks for reporting the problem. --Russ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: CQG-818179 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed
