Why work space matrix values correct for matrix xx(56,24) but not when listed in command window?

A matrix xx(56. 24) has correct values in workspace but not in command window. However, xx has correct values in command window if listed as a single row vector, as xx(10,:), but not if listed as a single column vector xx(:,10), and not if listed as complete matrix xx(:,:), or simply xx. New values in xx in command window have swapped out all real temperature data with zeros. However, values in command window keeps correct values of -9.99 which are coastlines and in their correct matrix location so that the coastline is plotted correctly with contour(lon, lat, xx), but not temperature data.

Matrix was initially read in by xx = ncread(filename,'sst'). The lat and lon read in by same method were correct in command window and workspace.

Give the command

format long g

Now ask again to display the data

This works. Very Good. Thanks.
