Lynton- The situation is as follows. The example you sent works ok, except for the last two variables: singleCompoundType singleCompound ; and vlen_CompoundType vlenCompound ; When either of these two are included (along with their initialization data), then an HDF5 error occurs. If I use the -lc option to ncgen, then the generated code looks correct, but when executed, still causes the HDF5 errors. So I concluded that the problem was no longer an ncgen problem, but rather a problem in either the netcdf library code or the HDF5 library code. I am still trying to figure out what the problem is by constructing a minimal test case to see if the problem is in the netcdf library or in the HDF5 library. =Dennis Heimbigner Unidata Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: JNH-860762 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Critical Status: Closed
