[gradsusr] Templates (Error in Data Descriptor File)

[Adam Bamba]

Dear grads users,
I have 2 files pr80.nc and pr90.nc and I want to use the time index of pr80.nc to create a XDF file for
pr90.nc in order to give the same time indices to the 2 files. So I can work with the two files a the same time.
I followed the instruction over the following link: 
http://ccr.aos.wisc.edu/climate_modeling/modeling/data_processing/grads/xdfopen.php

What I have is:
unknown command: DSET
unknown command: TDEF
gadxdf: Can't open description file
gadxdf: Can't open description file

I don't know what is wrong. I need help
Thanks in advance

Bamba A.

Hi:
 
I am trying to create a time series spanning 150 years using templating to plot 3 files together.  Aparently there is a problem with my descriptor file.  I can't identify the problem.  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.
 
Thanks so much!
Corey
