Perhaps you should tell us why... The answer may be different than
you expect...

So, anyways, the trailing dims are "still there" as 1's:

IDL> f = findgen(3,1,1)
IDL> help, f
F FLOAT = Array[3]
IDL> help, f[*,0]
<Expression> FLOAT = Array[3]
IDL> help, f[*,0,0]
<Expression> FLOAT = Array[3]
IDL> print, f
0.000000 1.00000 2.00000
IDL> print, f[*,*]
0.000000 1.00000 2.00000
IDL> print, f[*,0]
0.000000 1.00000 2.00000
IDL> print, f[*,0,0]
0.000000 1.00000 2.00000
IDL> print, f[*,*,*]
0.000000 1.00000 2.00000

If you are worried about the SIZE function:
IDL> fsize = size(f,/dimensions)
IDL> nx = fsize[0]
IDL> if n_elements(fsize) gt 1 then ny = fsize[1] else ny = 1L
IDL> if n_elements(fsize) gt 2 then nz = fsize[2] else nz = 1L
etc...
