[ferret_users] sampelij generates wrong missing values

[Martin Schmidt <martin.schmidt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I have a data file that has missing values defined like

                temp:missing_value = -1.e+20f ;

Ferret 6.1 deals with this definition almost corrrectly. One exception 
is sampleij.
Selecting data at some points with samplexy and writing them to a file 
gives correct missing values.
Using sampleij instead, missing and fill value is set to
               TEMP_IJ:missing_value = -1.e+34f ;
               TEMP_IJ:_FillValue = -1.e+34f ;

The original missing values are used as valid data now and additional 
measures are needed for a correct data treatment.
I think this is a bug?
The original data have also an attribute

               temp:valid_range = -10.f, 100.f ;

Does ferret read this?

Best,
Martin Schmidt
