I dont think I follow this comment.
The log output is generally for debugging purposes
and I would not expect ordinary users to use it.
Rather, they will see a netcdf error such as NC_SVCERR
indicating a server side error. If they encounter that,
then someone more sophisticated can turn on logging and
see the details. The problem is that there is currently no
way to pass more detailed info thru the netcdf API.
I'm thinking along the lines of the NF_STRERROR(status) call which
takes an error code and returns an error string. It might be that the
string would be "error at the data server. Please contact the
administrator ..." Returning some words is better than
** unknown netCDF error code: -69
In any case, the error messages available after "setenv OCLOGFILE"
are highly useful. This output received by Ferret is much more
helpful than the error code alone. Can things be set so that the
application can get this kind of message? Could the Warnings and
Errors be separated so that we could get one and not the other?
