Hi Stefan,

Please see GrADS Scripting Language Math Functions:

"math_nint" and "math_int"

at:

http://grads.iges.org/grads/gadoc/mathfunctions.html

and examples

* INTEGER CONVERSION
if (doint)
  print 'Real-to-integer conversion:'
  v = 3.0
  while(v < 4.0)
    rc1 = math_nint(v)
    rc2 = math_int(v)
    print 'nint of 'v' = 'rc1'    int of 'v' = 'rc2
    v = v + 0.1
  endwhile
  print ' '
endif

I hope this helps,
Chuck
