John,

Could you handle this please.  I assume he just wants to use an array
of char rather than a String, but maybe your OPeNDAP adaptation to
handle Strings is relevant ...

Hi,

I use NetCDF java (version 2.0) for generating netcdf files.  I have a
problem when tried to generate a time dimension  {"Jan", "Feb",  "Mar",
...}
The NetCDF Java API have ArrayAbstract ( and ArrayInt, ArrayFloat, ...)
but  NO  ArrayString for holding the above 1D array.  The reason I need
to use the above 1D array is to show month information rather than
{1,2,3,4...}.   What should I do?

Thanks.
