Re: [netcdfgroup] Fw: NcVar put method

Oh OK.  I guess you need to change
   int *dim;
   dim = new int[2];

to match the type expected by the second style of put(),

   long *dim;
   dim = new long[2];
   ...
   data->put( &dataOut[0], dim );       // definitely "dim" not "*dim"
                                        // so as to pass the address of the dim 
array,
                                        // not the value (6) of its first 
element

I expect that put() assumes it knows the length of dim[]:
it's equal to the rank of the netcdf variable.
