[gradsusr] Templates (Error in Data Descriptor File)

[Jennifer Adams]

You are mixing elements of an xdfopen-stle descriptor and a full descriptor file. 

DSET /stu_home/corey/tos_Omon_GISS-E2-H_historical_r1i1p1_%ch.nc
OPTIONS template
TDEF time 1872 linear 01jan1850 1mo
CHSUB 1 612 185001-190012
CHSUB 613 1212 190101-195012
CHSUB 1213 1872 195101-200512

The above is all that is needed for xdfopen. 
If you want to alias the variable name, you can add your variable declaration:

vars 1
tos=>sst
endvars

I've provided the content of the data descriptor file and the error message produced when I attempt to run the executable file in gads.
