Brian, Attached is a small test program that I think demonstrates the bug you have described. When I run it linked against the current f90 library, I get: $ ./bug *** Testing netCDF text I/O with fill mode from Fortran 90. "abc " "abc^@^@^@" STOP: 7 where I have substituted the two characters "^@" for a null byte that actually gets printed. Note that this is with nofill mode, so on my platform it's padding with nulls anyway, although I expected garbage padding instead from your description. When I try the fixes you suggested to the nf90_put_var_text() function in netcdf_text_variables.f90, running the code attached code for demonstrating the bug, things seem to work OK: $ ./bug *** Testing netCDF text I/O with fill mode from Fortran 90. *** SUCCESS! So I think this fixes the bug. I'll check in the change and the fix will be in the next release, as well as the current snapshot release. I'll also put a note about the two-line patch in our "Known problems" web page, in case anyone wants to just fix this problem before the next release ... --Russ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: OLW-364027 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed
