Re: Reducing the rank of an arbitrary variable

Jan,

I think this might work. It could be similar to what Saji suggested:

dims = dimsizes(V)
rdims = dims(1:) ; Get rightmost dimensions
rsize = product(rdims) ; Get # of elements
V1d = ndtooned(V)

do i = something,to_something
   ii = i*rsize ; Index into 1D array
   X = onedtond(V1d(ii:ii+rsize-1),rdims)
   ...
end do

--Mary
