Lost "long_names"

If I open a file, retrieve all the variables, and write them
to a new file, some of the variables lose their long_names
in the process, mainly integer variables. Please see below.
Any idea how to maintain all the variables' info, including
long_name, dimensions, units, etc?

Mike

a=addfile("originalfile.nc","r")
.....
......
out=addfile("newfile.nc","c")
do i=0,numb-1
    v = a->$names(i)$
    out->$names(i)$ = v
    delete(v)
end do
