Yes, it's that little semicolon you have at the end of the line

 if (!refVar->put(ref_out,NREC,NLVL,NLAT,NLON));

If you remove that, then the "return NC_ERR;" will be included as
part of the if statement, as it should be.  Otherwise, the return
statement is returning from your main program to the parent
process, which is just the shell running your program.
