Hi Nilesh,

NCL is limited to 2 Gb in size when it comes to creating new
variables. You are trying to create a variable that is 4 x 1440 x 400
x 2922 = 6,732,228,000 (~6 GB) bytes in size.

If you want to send me a personal email and let me know what you are
trying to accomplish, I might be able to help you work around this.
