I am fairly well-versed with the F90 interface to netCDF, but the
following problem
has me stumped.
My Fortran program has an input namelist (usually less than 100
lines) that I would
like to insert into a netCDF file as a global attribute.
Any ideas?
At the risk of steering the discussion ...
The NetCDF Fortran 90 Interface Guide has a statement in Section 5.2
"Attribute Conventions":
history
A global attribute for an audit trail. This is a character array with
a line for each invocation of a program that has modified the
dataset. Well-behaved generic netCDF applications should append a
line containing: date, time of day, user name, program name and
command arguments.
the key word being 'append' ...
Any ideas (short of "NF90_GET_ATT, NF90_DEL_ATT, [append],
NF90_PUT_ATT" for each line in the file)
would be appreciated.
