Hello, I've created a NetCDF convention to amass into one outputfile results contained in many (e.g. 50) NetCDF files (of the AnDI for spectrometry type). Data in the new convention include two 3-D arrays, with their unlimited dimension being the number of input files. But these conventions/types may be unimportant to my question. After some coding false starts, I can now iterative through a list of input files and load data into the output file without obvious memory problems. But all stops at iteration 38, when the output file just exceeds 2 gigabytes, specifically, when it is 2,097,144 kilobytes. My question: Have I run up against a NetCDF file size Limitation? Or is this some glitch in R or in Windows? Thanks, -John P.S. I'm working in the R (v. 2.3.1) statistical programming environment. I use Pavel Michna's RNetCDF (v.1.2-1) package within R to access netcdf (v. 3) library functions. This is all happening on a Windows XP laptop with 512 M RAM. The command in my iteration that fails is "var.put.nc". The error is generated from a line "stop(nc$errmsg, call. = FALSE). The error message is "Invalid Argument". -JT John Thaden PhD University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Little Rock AR, USA Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
