Re: [ferret_users] reading FORTRAN sequential access data - simplequestion

[Bob Tomas <tomas@xxxxxxxx>]

Jaison,

I looked at the examples and unfortunately the one provided doesn't address the
case I have because the FORTRAN write is imbedded inside do loops and single array 
elements are written with each "write".  In my case, I write out the whole darn array 
using a single write.

In Ferret I tried:

define axis/x=1:128:1 x128
define axis/y=1:64:1 y64
define axis/z=1:19:1 z19
define grid/x=x128/y=y64/z=z19 gg
file/var=hrmean/grid=gg/type=r8/format=unf HRMEAN.sst-2Xna-ctrl-04_001_280_emean.dat

show data
     currently SET data sets:
    1> ./HRMEAN.sst-2Xna-ctrl-04_001_280_emean.dat  (default)
 name     title                             I         J         K         L
 HRMEAN   HRMEAN                           1:128     1:64      1:19      ...

fill hrmean[k=19]
sfe: formatted io not allowed
apparent state: unit 62 named ./HRMEAN.sst-2Xna-ctrl-04_001_280_emean.dat
lately reading sequential formatted external IO
Abort
