Re: Problem with procedure write_table

Sven,

Please read the NCL document carefully, and check the example:
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/write_table.shtml

It clearly tells you that there is a type mismatch, and argument 2 should
be the "w" for write (create a file), to "a" for append (to an existing file).
