Re: Use of "short2flt_hdf" function

When NCL complains about "argument (0)" this means the first argument to whatever function or procedure you're calling. Of course, since short2flt_hdf only takes one argument, there's not much else it can mean!

Anyway, it's telling you that whatever you are passing into this function is the wrong type. This function expects a "short" type:

You may need to do this:

if(typeof( f->$vNam$).eq."short") then
    x = short2flt_hdf( f->$vNam$ )
else
    x = f->$vNam$
end if

But it is showing some error: "fatal:Argument type mismatch on argument (0) of (short2flt_hdf) can not coerce". I am new to handle .HDF files. So, can anyone help to solve this problem? The part of the code where the error occurs are as follows:
