Re: [ferret_users] Ferret 6.82 ERROR: start+count exceeds dimension bound



Hi,
What is the Ferret LIST command that you are you using? Which operating system are you running Ferret on? Please also show the the output of "SHOW DATA" and "SHOW GRID variable" commands for the variable that you are listing.

This error message comes to Ferret from the netCDF library which is used to read data from NetCDF and OPeNDAP datsets. I believe it comes up when asking for data with strides, that is, with the index=LO:HI:DELTA syntax, such as

   list var[i=1:100:10]

It seems to me that it may be related to a bug in the NetCDF library version 4.2 which we have reported to Unidata, the authors of the NetCDF library. We are awaiting their response on that. Ferret v681 and Ferret v682 are linked with that same version of the netCDF library however so I would be surprised to see different behavior for those two versions of Ferret. The NetCDF bug is not present in some of the earlier versions of NetCDF, such as v4.1.2, so Ferret v6.72 may not show this behavior but I would expect that v6.81 and 6.82 both would.

Dear Ferret Users,
I've tried to list a variable from a netcdf file on the latest verion of ferret (Ferret 6.82). But it returns the following error: netcdf error: start+count exceeds dimension bound (netcdf error code -57)
But when I use the previous version (ferret 6.81), everything is fine.
Can anybody help me?

Thanks
