The goal for netcdf is to have every file type have its own dispatch table. One of may reasons for this is that it avoids cluttering up code with conditional tests. Assuming we accept your code (high probability) then it will have its own dispatch table. You should think about how to modify your code to do this. My guess is that it be your existing code without a bunch of conditional tests. =Dennis Heimbigner Unidata Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: EXY-936604 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed
