[gradsusr] template question

[Andrew Friedman]

Hi GrADS users,

This is my first time using GRIB data or templates in GrADS, so I apologize
if this question is basic.

I'm trying to open a set of annual salinity GRIB files (from Ishii et al.)
using the GrADS template feature:
http://www.iges.org/grads/gadoc/templates.html

The files are sequential by year: sal.1945.grb sal.1946.grb sal.1947.grb
.... sal.2012.grb ....

However, when I open the control file (below) with the templating feature
it only opens the first year (1945). I am able to open individual files by
modifying the control file, however.

Do you know what I am missing to get all of the files to load at once?

I downloaded the data from
https://amaterasu.ees.hokudai.ac.jp/~ism/pub/ProjD/v6.13/sal/grib/
The control file sal.ctl is as follows:
-----------------------------------------------------------
DSET  ^sal.%y4.grb
INDEX ^sal.idx
dtype  grib 255

ENDVARS

Thanks,
Andrew
