Hello Stephen,

The documentation reference is here: 
https://docs.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf-fortran/current/f90-variables.html#f90-reading-and-writing-character-string-values

I'm curious if you can point me to the API documentation you have found that 
refers to NF90_STRING, as I'm unable to locate it? 

Thanks!
