INDEX

I*
is the relative index pointer for the Level 2 dimensions. The values in this field are pointers that map the ordering of the DESCRIP2 records into the actual data array index order. Counting begins with 0 or 1 as specified in TEST.SPECB.IDXSTART. 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 either greater than zero or equal to -1 (the latter to indicate unboundedness)
