  • Subject: [netCDF #FNY-378971]: some confusion in my program
  • Date: Mon, 01 Dec 2014 10:48:30 -0700
Hello,

Running your program with a non existent file did not cause any error message 
on my end, as the code did not properly catch the errmsg, nor did it terminate 
on an error status.

I made the following modification to your subroutine 'check':

 subroutine check(status)
    integer, intent ( in) :: status

    if(status /= nf90_noerr) then
       errmsg=trim(nf90_strerror(status))
       Print *, "The status is: ", status, "errormsg: ", errmsg
       stop
    end if
  end subroutine check

This causes the program to fail with error 2, 'no such file or directory', when 
running with a non-existent file.

I hope this helps,

-Ward
