Re: [ferret_users] OPeNDAP/netCDF Error code 5

[Paulo Santiago <paulo.santiago@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ansley,

I get this error message when I try to plot/contour my data. Sometimes
it occurs to .nc files also. "use" or "set data" commands returns no
errors.

The most strange is the irregularity on error occurences. Sometimes the
plot/contour command works correctly even if no changes were made in the
script.

I'm wondering if it would be related to the machine I'm working. My data
is stored in a remote hard disk, mounted through the network. I don't
have further details about it, but I can check with my helpdesk.

Regards,
Paulo Santiago
