GETNCERR Function
Retrieves the current value of the “ncerr” variable as discussed in the error section of the NetCDF User’s Guide.
Usage
ncerr = GETNCERR([errstr])
Input Parameters
errstr—(optional) A variable to hold the corresponding error string to the ncerr variable.
Keywords
Help—List the usage for this function.

Return Value
ncerr—The current value of the ncerr variable.
Discussion
GETNCERR retrieves the current value of the “ncerr” variable as discussed in the Error Handling section of the NetCDF User’s Guide. This variable gets set to a non-zero value when an error occurs in a call to the NetCDF functions. A string describing the error will be returned in the optional “errstr” parameter.
note | GETNCERR is only valid for the NetCDF functionality included in the optional PV‑WAVE HDF interface. |
The value of “ncerr” does not change when a valid NetCDF function call is made.
Example
@hdf_startup
@hdf_common
; This call fails because the file does not exist.
ncid = NCOPEN("foo.nc", NC_NOWRITE) ; % NCOPEN: error in HDF return status.
status = NCREDEF(ncid)
; ncredef: -1 is not a valid cdfid
; % NCREDEF: error in HDF return status.
ncerr = GETNCERR(errstr)
INFO, ncerr, errstr
; PV-WAVE prints:
; NCERR LONG = 1
; ERRSTR STRING = 'Not a netcdf id'
