> > I'm working with NetCDF-Java to read a NetCDF file. My NetCDF file contains a compound type with several int records nested in it. The compound type also contains two nested VLEN int types. I'm able to read values in the non-VLEN int fields of the compound type, but I'm not able to read values in VLEN types. I can only read their lengths. I have looked on the Github project to try and find an example of reading VLEN types using Java but I was not able to find anything. Do you have any resources available that demonstrate how to read values out of a VLEN type that is nested inside of a compound type?
