error using coordinate subscripting

Hi

I'm resending this since a colleague didn't see it turn up on the list
and I haven't had a response. Perhaps the zip file attachment in the
original made it go into the ether (it was under the size limits).

Hi-

I have a script that was working in NCL 5.2.1 and 6.0.0, but doesn't
work in version 6.1.2. I've searched the archives, but I didn't see
this reported, but maybe I didn't use the right search terms.

The error occurs when trying to subset the data with something like:

   vardata = datafile->$varname$(:,{minLat:maxLat},{minLon:maxLon})

With this, under 5.2.1 it works fine. In 6.1.2, I get:

fatal:["NclAdvancedFile.c":2869]:Subscript out of range, error in
subscript #2
fatal:["Execute.c":8128]:Execute: Error occurred at or near line 128 in
file readdata.ncl

fatal:["Execute.c":8128]:Execute: Error occurred at or near line 297 in
file readdata.ncl

If I change the code to be:

   tmpdata = datafile->$varname$
   vardata = tmpdata(:,{minLat:maxLat},{minLon:maxLon})

it works, but then I'm reading in the entire variable (aren't I?) and I
have to change my code before upgrading to 6.1.2. There is also a
problem when I try to subset on level (for a 3D dataset) where I use the
exact value of the single level in the grid and I get an error.

I can upload a zip file with data and a sample script if needed.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Don
