NCDF_ATTCOPY and typecasting [message #49798]

Hello All,

I am newb to NetCDF and IDL so bear with me :)

Here's my situation:

I am reading in a data array of type FLOAT, and creating a new NetCDF
file and writing the data array to the new file in type BYTE. I can do
this fine. However, when I try to do a ncdf_attcopy on the variable
attributes from the float array to my new byte array, it fails. I do
know that when doing a varput, the datatype of the array and its
attributes need to be the same.

Does anyone know any way around this where I can maybe do a typecast
from float to byte using ncdf_attcopy?

Thanks in advance,
Alex
