WHILE/ENDWHILE Problems

[James T. Potemra]

Hi Jason:

The attached script is quite different from the earlier one in your 
email.  First, the attached script doesn't increment the variable 
"icount", so you need to add a line "icount = icount + 1".  Second, in 
this script you are not defining a variable (last one had "define 
uwndavg") but are displaying a variable ("d uwndavg").  Third, you're 
closing the while loop with all upper case "ENDWHILE" (in the attached 
script).  This script works fine on my machine (64bit linux, grads- 
v2.0.a7.oga.2), but maybe your implementation has case-sensitivity issues?
