[netCDF #CLD-454258]: writing to variable length array of type double

Jon,

There is a C example that creates a ragged array in ncdump/tst_vlen_data.c.

When you run "make check" it gets compiled and run to create a file
tst_vlen_data.nc
that is equivalent to the CDL file ref_tst_vlen_data.cdl (these are all in the
ncdump
directory.  The CDL is very simple:

  netcdf tst_vlen_data {
  types:
    float(*) row_of_floats ;
  dimensions:
        m = 5 ;
  variables:
        row_of_floats ragged_array(m) ;
                row_of_floats ragged_array:_FillValue = {-999} ;
  data:

   ragged_array = {10, 11, 12, 13, 14}, {20, 21, 22, 23}, {30, 31, 32},
      {40, 41}, _ ;
  }

representing a ragged array with 5 rows of length 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1,
with the last element being a fill value.

Sorry, but there is no Fortran example yet.
