Problems using templates

[hersala]

Sorry for my insistence, but when I try to concatenate in t dim
several nc files with 3-line descriptor files like these ones:

dset air.sig995.%y4.nc
options template
tdef 731 linear 1jan1975 1dy

or

dset air.sig995.%y4.nc
options template
tdef 731 linear 00Z01jan1975 1dy

I obtain these error message:

xdfopen daily-wis.ctl
Scanning Descriptor File: daily-wis.ctl
gadxdf error: Missing or invalid dimension size.
--> The invalid description file record is:
--> tdef 731 linear 1jan1975 1dy
 The data file was not opened.

I´m using v2.0.a3.oga.1 for Windows

I will appreciate any help. Thanks a lot again.
