## @deftypefn {Loadable Function} {@var{ncvar} = } nclong(@var{dimname_1},...,@var{dimname_N})
## creates a netcdf variable of type nclong. @var{dimname_1} is the name 
## of the 1st netcdf dimension, and so on. The return value is a netcdf
## variable object and must be affected to a netcdf file, before its content
## can be defined.
## 
## Example:
## @example
## nc = netcdf('test.nc','w');
## nc('lon') = 360;
## nc('lat') = 180;
## nc@{'var'@} =  nclong('lon','lat');
## @end example
## A new 360 by 180 netcdf variable named 'var' of type long is 
## created in file 'test.nc'.
## @end deftypefn
## @seealso{netcdf}
