[ncl-talk] variable dimension name problem

[Dennis Shea]

Since name_n1 and name_n2 are variables of type string, you must use
additional syntax

Change

   > VAR&name_n1 = Var_n1

   > VAR&name_n2 = Var_n2


To

   > VAR&$name_n1$ = Var_n1

   > VAR&$name_n2$ = Var_n2

See section 3.1.3:  When to use the $ syntax
