What does this error mesage mean?

f90: Error: DEC$ DESCRIPTOR/REFERENCE ATTRIBUTE valid only on interface dummy.

This error message appeared when I was trying to compile a simpe test program using the netCDF libs. Could someone give me a clue what the problem is? The error message occurs for every call of any of netCDF funtions.

Thanks, Jochen

Well, the message means that the code used !DEC$ ATTRIBUTES REFERENCE (or DESCRIPTOR) outside of an INTERFACE block. What does the code look like? (Small excerpt, please.)

You may have omitted or accidently deleted an END INTERFACE statement.
