<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Hi,
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">It would help to see the entire script. But I think the problem is well stated in the warning message.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">I suspect that the warning doesn’t come from the line Temp!0 = “time”. In fact I’m pretty sure of it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">The warning comes later when you try and assign another variable to Temp, like this: Temp = A.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">If A doesn’t have a dimension A!0 called “time”, just the same as Temp, then you will get the warning. But the script will work and your data is not corrupted.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Also Temp’s dimensions will be renamed to match A, since you are copying A to Temp and without (//), then A’s metadata will be also copied to Temp.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">This is why printVarSummary(Temp) AFTER the assignment of A will not show the name dimension “time”. It was simply replaced per your request: Temp = A.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">What NCL then does is as it says: Temp = (/A/), which strips away A’s meta data and then assign just the data to Temp.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">So to get rid of the warning, simply give Temp!0 the same name as the variable you are copying to Temp or simply do as the message says: Temp = (/A/).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Hope this helps,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
