[Vis5d-users] problem with variable names

Dear group members,

I attempt to create v5d files using Portland Group Fortran on a Linux
machine.  I use v5dcreatesimple for a regular spaced grid.

However, the variable names seem to be not properly identified.  They
are given as a character field in a data statement.  But instead of
recognising the variables, P, U, V, T, Theta, PV, and SpecH,
it appears that the strings are being "glued" together.

See here the output from v5dinfo:

File format: v5d  version: 4.3
Compression:  1 byte per gridpoint.
header size=11804
sizeof(v5dstruct)=169068

NumVars = 7
Var  Name       Units      Rows  Cols  Levels LowLev  MinVal       
  1  P      U   Pa          36    72    30      0     1000             
  2      V      m/s         36    72    30      0     -40.8064   
  3   T      T  m/s         36    72    30      0     -57.8602   
  4  eta  PV    K           36    72    30      0     185.118   
  5    SpecH    K           36    72    30      0     239.123   
  6  a          PVU         36    72    30      0     -207.815   
  7   m/s       g/g         36    72    30      0     0.000458169

etc...


I had a similar problem with v5dsetunits and adding a '\0' to each
unit string took care of it.  However this doesn't work with the
variable names.

I would be very grateful for suggestions on how to solve this problem. 

Best regards
