Hi Gordon,
That really just depends on the data set that you are using for checking if it is being read correctly. If you want to make sure it is being read correctly, then you will probably need a reference data set to compare against. Your best bet would be to get a reference data set from your colleague and you can do this with an IDL save file. Here is an example for how to create an IDL .sav file which is what your colleague would do:
SAVE, /VARIABLES, FILENAME = 'variables1.sav'
That will save all of your variables into IDL's current working directory to the file calles variables1.sav. Alternatively you can save just one varibale into a .sav file with:
SAVE, myarray, FILENAME = 'variables1.sav'
Once you get the information from your colleague, you can restore the variables with the RESTORE procedure like:
RESTORE, 'C:\Path\to\variables1.sav'
