[ncl-talk] Suppressing output of "table_attach_columns" function

[Michael Toy]

Hello,

I am using NCL version 6.3.0 and am using the “table_attach_columns” function for the first time.  Using an interactive session, when I enter the following:
x = table_attach_columns(t1,t2,0)

Instead of “quietly” assigning the values to the variable “x”, the entire result is written out to the screen (as well as assigning the value to “x”).  I’ve never seen an NCL function do this before and am wondering if it’s a bug.  In the meantime, is there a way to suppress the output?

Thanks.
