Hi Justin,
Sorry it has taken so long to respond to your question.
Was this a very old version of ncgen, from before 1997? I haven't seen an
occurrence of
that error message since the version of ncgen released with netCDF 2.4.1, in
March 1996,
which included the following in its RELEASE_NOTES:
- Fixed ncgen bug in filling one-dimensional string variables when
specified with multiple
values that should be concatenated, eliminating spurious "too many
values for this variable"
message.
If you got the message from a recent version of ncgen, could you make the
netCDF file available
to us, so we could reproduce and provide a fix for the bug?
Thanks.
