[ncl-talk] Issue with reading shapefiles (NCL 6.4.0 only)

[Fabien Paulot - NOAA Affiliate]

Hello,

it seems integers are not properly recognized in ncl 6.4.0 and cannot be
read.
This used to work fine

Here is the output of ncl_filedump on the same shapefile with these two
versions. Note how the ID_1 and ID_2 field change

Any idea what's going on.

Thanks a lot
Fabien
