[R] ncdf size error

[Hernan A. Moreno Ramirez]

Sure, here it is. Thanks for any help with this Dr. Pierce:

Error in R_nc_enddef: NetCDF: One or more variable sizes violate format constraints
Error in R_nc_sync: NetCDF: Operation not allowed in define mode

Hi Hernan,

can you supply an example that shows the problem?
