[gradsusr] get a syntax error using query w2xy

[Kyle Anderson]

Hi all,

I am just trying to have a map that shows daily precipitation over
Argentina and also have some red circles to indicate a few station
locations.  Below I have the script I have been using with only one station
for the draw mark command but I will be doing this for multiple stations.
 I did this for a map over North America and everything worked fine.  Now
trying for argentina I keep getting a syntax error for the line: 'q w2xy
'lon1' 'lat1 . As I said this worked fine for North America when I tried so
not sure if this is something to do with the negative latitude now.

Thank you for any help you can provide,

Kyle

map changes
'q w2xy 'lon1' 'lat1
say result
*Loads the XY coords in x1 and y1
x1 = subwrd(result,3)
y1 = subwrd(result,6)
*Draws a marker at x1 y1 position with selected size
