Some time ago, Ken Knapp (below) pointed out a bug in ncgen.
I have since done a complete rewrite of the way
character datalists are handled in ncgen.
This rewrite is now in the nightly snapshot.

Something that wasn't happening with netcdf3.6 is now happening with 4.1.1
The test.cdl is
netcdf test {
dimensions:
isochar = 19 ;
ncenters = UNLIMITED ; // (2 currently)
variables:
char center(ncenters,isochar) ;
// global attributes:
:history = "testing" ;
data:
center =
"atcf",
"hurdat_atl" ;
}
using
$ ncgen test.cdl -o test.nc
$ ncdump test.nc
> The result only shows "atcf" for variable /center/
However, if I change "atcf" to "atcf_____" to equal length as
"hurdat_atl", then the resulting test.nc is correct (both atcf____ and
hurdat_atl are listed in the variable output.
However, the converse is not true: if I shorten "hurdat_atl" to "hurd"
(same length as "atcf") then I still only get "atcf" for the center
variable.
This seems like a bug or at least a new feature of ncgen.
Your thoughts?
