 Maybe you could merge all .dat files into one and control it by a single .ctl file. At least it worked for me.
  
 Here is what you could have in your script:


'open YOUR_NEW.ctl'
count=1
rec=3           (example for the 3 files)  
while(count<=rec)
'set z 21'
'set lat -60 90'
'set lon -180 180'
'set mpdset hires'
'set gxout shaded'
'set t 'count   
'd rh'
'draw map'
'run cbar.gs'
'q time'      (this will give you a string which I call "alldate")
alldate=subwrd(result,3)
date=substr(alldate,4,9)  (This gives date as "05MAR2006" )
hour=substr(alldate,1,2)  (This gives hour as "00")
'draw title Relative Humidity 'date' at 'hour'UTC '
'printim 'date'_'hour'.png x1600 y1200'
'clear'
count=count+1
endwhile


Don't forget to "modify" TDEF in YOUR_NEW.ctl



I hope this helps,

Dimitris.

  I have several NCEP data files I would like to loop in a script without having to open each file one by one. Any suggestions?

  'reinit'
  'open gfsanl_3_20060805_0000_000.ctl'
  'set z 21'
  'set lat -60 90'
  'set lon -180 180'
  'set mpdset hires'
  'set gxout shaded'
  'd rh'
  'draw map'
  'run cbar.gs'
  'draw title Relative Humidity Along ITCZ: 2006-08-05_0000'
  'printim 05_0000.png x1600 y1200'

  'reinit'
  'open gfsanl_3_20060805_0600_000.ctl'
  'set z 21'
  'set lat -60 90'
  'set lon -180 180'
  'set mpdset hires'
  'set gxout shaded'
  'd rh'
  'draw map'
  'run cbar.gs'
  'draw title Relative Humidity Along ITCZ: 2006-08-05_0600'
  'printim 05_0600.png x1600 y1200'

  'reinit'
