Re: Issue with writing large data out to netCDF

Kyle,

Further down in the docs, in the "NetCDF file format options" section is
a block that indicates the you need to you "nc" instead of a file
argument when setfileoption is setting "Format":

Format
     Default value: "Classic"

     You may set this option only prior to opening a new NetCDF file in
"create" mode. The first argument must be a string specifying the NetCDF
format, such as "nc". This string-valued option currently has four valid
values, two of which are synonyms.
