[gradsusr] netcdf - descriptor file ctl

[Celso Bandeira de Melo Ribeiro]

Hello Andrew,

I need a little more help with descriptor file (ctl).

I can open the file NetCDF one-by-one, using the descriptor file that you
sent me, p.ex.:

DSET ^ET_2000M02.nc
UNDEF 0
YDEF length 526 LINEAR -20.25 0.05
XDEF rows 651 LINEAR -80.05 0.05   
VARS 1
ET=>et 0 x,y ET
ENDVARS 

It works fine!

But when I try open using the template for different months
(ET_2000M01.nc, ET_2000M02.nc, ET_2000M03.nc, ..., ET_2000M05.nc) it
doesn't work. The descriptor file that I am using is:

DSET ^ET_20%y2M%m2.nc
OPTIONS template
UNDEF 0
YDEF length 526 LINEAR -20.25 0.05
DTYPE netcdf
TDEF 5 linear Jan2000 1mo
VARS 1
ET=>et 0 t,x,y ET
ENDVARS 

The error message that appear is:

ga-> xdfopen amazon_ok1.ctl
Scanning Descriptor File:  amazon_ok1.ctl
gadxdf error: Missing or invalid dimension size.
  --> The invalid description file record is: 
  --> tdef 5 linear jan2000 1mo
  The data file was not opened. 
ga-> 

Can anybody help me?

Thank you.

Celso
