INDEX

I*
is the relative index pointer for the Level 0 dimensions. These indices are pointers that map the ordering of the DESCRIP0 fields into the actual data array index order. Counting begins with 0 or 1 as specified in TEST.SPECB.IDXSTART. A value of -1 indicates a scalar value (i.e., there is no separate index value into the data array). See the discussion in Section 2.3.2
GPTNUM

I*
is the number of grid points defined along each dimension (the rank of the dimension). These values must be greater than zero
