Hi
We don't offer a setting for the coordinate variables, even with the
(upcoming) release of Ferret v6.83. As it says in the documentation
you point to here, "Coordinate data is always written in double
precision". The SET LIST/OUTTYPE and SAVE/OUTTYPE will apply only
to file variables. (My apologies that the documentation got ahead
of the Ferret releases.)
In Ferret v6.82 and previous versions, you can control the output
type, still only for file variables, with SET VAR/OUTTYPE.
We would really need separate syntax to offer control over the type
of coordinate variable data. Even if you wanted floating point data
for a file variable, it might be important to list the coordinate
data using double precision; if for instance it represents time in
minutes for a number of years.

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!
Regards, dan
