Problem with reading Netcdf file

[Jiangfeng Wei]

I used "sdfopen rain.nc" to open a nectcdf file. The message is:

Scanning self-describing file:  rain.nc
Found 1 data variables in SDF file.
Found displayable variable rain with 0 levels in SDF file.
SDF operational error (copy_io_std failed making current first)


"ncdump -h rain.nc", get:

netcdf rain {
dimensions:
         time = UNLIMITED ; // (1 currently)
         lat = 64 ;
         lon = 128 ;
variables:
         float RAIN(time, lat, lon) ;
                 RAIN:long_name = "atmospheric rain" ;
                 RAIN:units = "mm/s" ;
                 RAIN:cell_method = "time: mean" ;
                 RAIN:_FillValue = 1.e+36f ;
                 RAIN:missing_value = 1.e+36f ;
         float lat(lat) ;
                 lat:long_name = "coordinate latitude" ;
                 lat:units = "degrees_north" ;
         float lon(lon) ;
                 lon:long_name = "coordinate longitude" ;
                 lon:units = "degrees_east" ;
         float time(time) ;
                 time:long_name = "time" ;
                 time:units = "days since 1998-02-01 00:00:00" ;
                 time:calendar = "noleap" ;
                 time:bounds = "time_bounds" ;

I used v1.8SL11 32-bit gradsnc on IBM AIX at NCAR. I met the same
problem on another machine. Any idea on what's the problem?

thanks,
Jiangfeng
