Re: [ferret_users] unexplained hang during list/format=cdf

["William S. Kessler" <william.s.kessler@xxxxxxxx>]

Try removing the quotes from "cdf" in the statement:

> list/clobber/file="testfile"/format=cdf sfco2_int, sfco2_int_ocn,  
> sfco2_int_lnd

or simply:

save/file=testfile.cdf/clobber sfco2_int, sfco2_int_ocn, sfco2_int_lnd
