problem with gribmap and template option

[Massimo Aceti]

Hi all,

I use grib2ctl with otpion template to create a unique ctl file from the
first 34 GFS onedeg forecast files (99 hours)

this is my code

ga-> !perl /usr/local/bin/grib2ctl.pl -verf fh.00%h2_tl.press_gr.onedeg
 > gfs.ctl

I obtain this ctl file

dset ^fh.00%h2_tl.press_gr.onedeg
index ^fh.0000_tl.press_gr.onedeg.idx
undef 9.999E+20
title fh.0000_tl.press_gr.onedeg
*  produced by grib2ctl v0.9.12.5p39a
dtype grib 3
options template
options yrev
ydef 181 linear -90.000000 1
xdef 360 linear 0.000000 1.000000
tdef 34 linear 00Z17dec2006 3hr
*  z has 26 levels, for prs
zdef 26 levels
1000 975 950 925 900 850 800 750 700 650 600 550 500 450 400 350 300 250
200 150 100 70 50 30 20 10
vars 138
no4LFTXsfc  0 132,1,0  ** surface Best (4-layer) lifted index [K]
and others variables ...

Then, I map the ctl file with gribmap and I obtain (ga-> !gribmap -i
gfs.ctl):

gribmap:  Scanning binary GRIB file(s):

gribmap:  Opening GRIB file fh.0003_tl.press_gr.onedeg
gribmap:  Reached EOF
gribmap:  Writing the map...

The mapping is made only up to 21 hours and when I open the ctl file and
set the time higher than 8 I obtain this error:
Cannot contour grid - all undefined values

It's very strange!

Someone can help me to resolve this problem?

Thanks
