[Vis5d-users] Re: problem with variable names

Dear Marcus,
	I regularly compile grib2v5d (you can get the sources at
http://grib2v5d.sf.net) with pgf90 Portland compiler and it correctly
generates variable names on Linux (actually I don't use a DATA statement
but I read variable names from a NAMELIST file); maybe your problem is
that the strings composing the vector passed to v5dcreate are not 10
characters long but less (I guess 7)? I think this is a requirement for
v5dcreate, the example in the manual reads:

         character*10 varname(MAXVARS)

	If the problem is not there, maybe some lines of code would be
useful to understand better what's going on.
	best wishes,
		Davide
