Hello Jim et al
I have followed your path and I agree with your analysis
It looks like my assumption, and a whole part of my discussion thread, is based on a piece of code in a third party udunits wrapper which is not part of udunits. Hence I have been muddying the issue with an interpretation which is not valid.
Apologies for the confusion this has caused.
I now retract all my statements linked to
units = ''
as udunits unequivocally interprets this as equivalent to
units = '1'
I will consider this some more and try to come up with a coherent thought process which is supported by the software.
all the best
mark

Hi.
Just out of curiosity, I used udunits-2 to do a test to compare units of
'', '1', and 'kg/kg'. They all evaluated as equal to one another.
Grace and peace,
Jim
