pb with a ctl file

[Andrea Storto]

Just try to let one blank space before ENDVARS statement,
(only before this one!)
I get the same message when I use GrADS on Windows
and thus I fixed it, even if I don't know why
(error in ctl read procedure).

Let me know

Bye

Andrea

Dear all

I am trying to open a file containing 8 variables (ctl below)

DSET     c:\vincent\clivar\composite_sst_mean.grd
TITLE      composites saiso. du SOI le plus haut (1873-1996)
UNDEF           -9999

arp_m_s         1 99 composite
arp_p_u         1 99 composite
arp_m_u         1 99 composite
ec_p_s          1 99 composite
ec_m_s           1 99 composite
ec_p_u          1 99 composite
ec_m_u          1 99 composite
ENDVARS

And I have always the same error message (on a PC or on a linux system)

  The data file was not opened.
ga-> open c:\vincent\clivar\composite_sst_mean.ctl
Scanning description file:  c:\vincent\clivar\composite_sst_mean.ctl
Open Error:  Looking for ENDVARS statement
             Instead, found:
  --> The invalid description file record is:
  --> endvars

  The data file was not opened.

Any idea of the trouble ? I should add that when I add a line for options
like
Options yrev, the error is on that line.
