[ferret_users] Re: How to save "time axis" in float type?

["Yu, Hao-Cheng" <danish.url@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear ferret user

I also notice "set list/outtype=float" seems start to support from v6.83 
(at http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/Ferret/documentation/users-guide/commands-reference/SAVE#SAVE_OUTPUT_TYPE)

However, the latest version seems is 6.82?
Is this means I can't change type right now?

Dear all ferret users,

I have to sub-sample from a netcdf file and keeps its type as original file.
The file contains 2 variables with time axis which has "float" type.
I use script like following:
----------------------------
use input.nc
CANCEL MODE UPCASE_OUTPUT
set list/outtype=float
list/KEEP_AXISNAMES/i=320:482/j=294:428/form=cdf/file=test.nc/clob lon,lat,dlwrf,dswrf
-----------------------------------------------------
All variable saves with "float" type but not for "time", it's "double".

Any ideas to easily convert this will be appreciated!
