Re: to display large numbers

More ...

If the year/month/day/hour/minute

are separate variables

     fileName = "FOO_"+year+month+day+hour+minute

or, if you want the number to be at the beginning of your filename

     fileName = ""+year+month+day+hour+minute +".nc"

or using Dave Brown's unsigned integer

     v = 200707280000Q
     fileName = v + ".nc"
