[gradsusr] xdfopen command in GrADS Version 1.8SL11

[Eric Altshuler]

Hello ,

Since the files essential to grads operation are not in /usr/local/lib/grads, you must set the environment variable GADDIR:

setenv GADDIR /gpfs1/scientific_appln/grads-1.8sl11/data (if you use csh)

or

GADDIR=/gpfs1/scientific_appln/grads-1.8sl11/data
export GADDIR

(if you use sh/bash).

Hello friends,

The path to udunits.dat in my server is
/gpfs1/scientific_appln/grads-1.8sl11/data/udunits.dat

How/Where can I set the path to this file

Hello Friends,

I am facing a problem while using xdfopen command in GrADS Version
1.8SL11

My data discripter file (dsptr./ctl) is as follows

DSET /gpfs2/home/kiran/freerun/t62/monthly/time_mean.%y4% m2.nc

OPTIONS template
DTYPE netcdf
TDEF 1200 linear jan2000 1mo

Then I tried to open the data using xdfopen. This is the response from
the system.
