cdflib.getVarMaxAllocRecNum

Maximum allocated record number for variable

Syntax

maxrec = cdflib.getVarMaxAllocRecNum(cdfId,varNum)

Description

maxrec = cdflib.getVarMaxAllocRecNum(cdfId,varNum) returns the record number of the maximum allocated record for a variable in a Common Data Format (CDF) file.

cdfId identifies the CDF file. varNum is a numeric value that identifies the variable. Variable numbers and record numbers are zero-based.

Examples

Open example CDF and get the maximum allocated record number for a variable:

cdfId = cdflib.open("example.cdf");

% Determine maximum record number for variable in file
maxRecNum = cdflib.getVarMaxAllocRecNum(cdfId,0)
maxRecNum =

    63
% Clean up
cdflib.close(cdfId)
clear cdfId
