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?
