Re: Lost long_names / units

Dave,

Even with this other script, the dimensions levsoi & string_length are
lost and some variables lose their units and long_names. Something
seems wrong.

Mike

begin
system ("/bin/rm b35.012mons1.clm2.r.2193-01-01-00000.new.nc") ;
remove if exist
out = addfile("b35.012mons1.clm2.r.2193-01-01-00000.new.nc","c")
in = addfile("b35.012mons1.clm2.r.2193-01-01-00000.nc", "r")
    vname = getfilevarnames(in)

    do i=0,dimsizes(vname)-1
      dims = getfilevardims(in,vname(i))
      nrank = dimsizes(dims)
      Vold = in->$vname(i)$ ; read each variable to memory
      Vnew = Vold
      copy_VarMeta(Vold,Vnew)
      out->$vname(i)$ = Vnew
      delete(Vnew)
      delete(Vold)
      delete(dims)
      delete(nrank)
    end do

end
