Re: write_table error

In order to use write_table, the third argument must be a List type, not a variable type, as stated in the write_table documentation:

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/write_table.shtml

I suppose at some point the function could be updated to allow variables, but for now, use a List.

So, change this:

> 11 write_table("test3.txt", "w", a,"%10.3")

to:

> 11 write_table("test3.txt", "w", [/a/],"%10.3")
