[MITgcm-support] How to open and read '.bin' file?

[michael schaferkotter]

in fortran90 code 

real, dimension(nx,ny) :: data

topoFile = "topoFile.bin"
iunit         = 99

WORDLENGTH    = 4 
nnn                          = size(data)
length_of_rec        = nnn*WORDLENGTH
irec                           = 1 

open(unit=iunit,file=topoFile, status="old", access="direct", recl=length_of_rec ,action="read")
read(unit=iunit,rec=irec) data


i use this routine as a method in a generic subroutine to handle various array sizes and data types.

the assumption here is the data is real*4.
