Hi, There are two issues here. To change the output of SHOW commands, you can say, yes? CANCEL MODE 6D_LAB(See the release notes here for the details of 6D Ferret: http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/Ferret/documentation/release-notes/version-6-8-release-notes) I don't see anything in your script that would explain the error message you are seeing however. We may need to work outside the Ferret list to find out what's happening, and report back with our results. Let me just summarize what happens with 6D Ferret and defining grids. The M and N dimensions are not created by the grid you defined. They are listed as ABSTRACT by the SHOW commands. This is similar to what would happen in 4D Ferret, if you defined an XYT grid: the Z axis would be listed as ABSTRACT, and show up with a ... in the output of SHOW DATA. Abstract axes have no role in reading data from a dataset or any other operation. If 6D Ferret writes data to a netCDF file with a grid such as you have defined, it does NOT write anything having to do with the M and N axes to that file. (try ncdump -h to list the header of the file you have written). 6D Ferret can append data to files written with 4D Ferret so long as the grids are defined in xyzt as long as that append would have worked in previous versions of Ferret - the grids are compatible. What commands were you doing when you saw **ERROR: Size of file doesn't match size specified by variables/grid"? Is that when you go to load the data from the prof.dat file? Our test suite does include ascii and binary datasets with 4 dimensions. 6D Ferret successfully reads those using the same scripts as for 4D Ferret. -Ansley On 12/12/2012 7:50 PM, ROHITHmuzik
