dealloc

Deallocates all allocatable arrays within an FPL data structure.

Signature

Behavior

Deallocates the following arrays if allocated:

Array	Present In
ncdata	All types
longitudes	All types
latitudes	All types
times	3D and 4D types
levels	4D types
dimname, dimunits	All types

Supported Types

Works with all 100 FPL data types via the dealloc generic interface.

Example

type(nc3d_float_llf_ti) :: data

tip

Always call dealloc when you're done with an FPL variable, especially inside loops where structures are repeatedly allocated.
