[ncl-talk] Wondering Why I Get This Error

[Barry Lynn]

Hi:

I have some simple code, copied below.

I cannot add the value of 256 to dbz or the value of wrap_around after
setting it to 256.

  wrap_around = dbz

  wrap_around = 256.


  do j = 0,dims2d(0)-1

  do i = 0,dims2d(1)-1

  check = ismissing(dbz(j,i))

   if (check.eq.False)then

   if (dbz(j,i).lt.0)then

    dbz(j,i) = dbz(j,i) + wrap_around(j,i)

   end if

   end if

  end do

  end do

fatal:["NclVar.c":1390]:Assignment type mismatch, right hand side can't be
coerced to type of left hand side
