Hi all:

Just wondering if anyone had a problem with this. I have couple variables 
to which I need to add dimensions. They already have two dimensions and I 
am trying to add another one to the set.

I am able to add to variables that display single values. But variables 
that display more than 1 value (like an array of values) or multiple values 
(in a loop) have a trouble displaying. So basically if I add a dimension, 
it ruins the display of all the values of the variables.
For example, my variable is Pressure and it has 1 existing dimension called 
N_PROF, I am trying to add another one N_LEVELS and the display is as 
follows:

With Single dimension:
PRES =     8.9,    19.4,    29.3,    39.5,    49.5,    59.2,    69.4,
       79.6,    89.5,    99.4,   109.3,   119.4,   129.5,   139.5,   149.2, 
      159.4,   169.1,   179.4,   189.1,   199.4,   209.2,   219.4,   229.2, 
      239.2,   249.3,   259.3,   269.1,   279.3,   289.3,   299.5,   309.1, 
      319.3,   329.1,   339.4,   349.1,   359.1,   379.3,   399.3,   449.2, 
      499.0,   549.3,   599.3,   649.5,   699.0,   749.2,   799.5,   849.5, 
      899.1,   949.6,   999.5,  1049.3,  1099.0,  1149.0,  1199.4,  1249.2, 
     1299.0,  1349.4,  1399.4,  1449.3,  1499.2,  1549.4,  1599.3,  1649.1, 
     1699.4,  1749.4,  1799.4,  1849.2,  1899.5,  1949.1,  1999.6,  2002.2 
;

When I add a dimension it becomes:
PRES
      5.9, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, 
_,
    _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _,
    _, _, _, _, _ ;

Sorry guys, I am new to netcdf and need to resolve this before my deadline 
(which is in 2 days). If something can help, that would be great!!!!

THANKS A TON IN ADVANCE!!!
