Well, netCDF error -59 is defined in ndetcdf.h thus:

#define NC_EBADNAME (-59) /* Attribute or variable name
contains illegal characters */

The string 'BAT file: ' is an illegal netCDF attribute name for two
reasons: 1) it includes spaces; 2) it uncludes a colon. (Not that I have
bothered to look up the netCDF reference.)

The puzzle is why it worked in IDL 5.6.
