covcorm function output

Hi

I am trying to calculate a 2D covariance matrix using the covcorm() function for an array 'x' dimensioned (time=1872, lon=360). By setting the second element of the 'iopt' argument (see below) I am expecting to get a matrix dimensioned (/nlon,nlon/) , but instead I get a 1D matrix of size (nlon*(nlon+1)/2), as if iopt(1) were set to 0.

> iopt = (/0,1/)
> C = covcorm(x(lon|:,time|:), iopt)
>printVarSummary(C)

Variable: C
Type: float
Total Size: 259920 bytes
            64980 values
Number of Dimensions: 1
Dimensions and sizes: [64980]
Coordinates:
Number Of Attributes: 2
  _FillValue : 1e+20
  trace : 360

Am I missing something?

Many thanks

Will
