[gradsusr] template question

[Davide Sacchetti]

You are making same mess with template ... I try to show 2 solutions:

you could cat all your files into a single one and avoiding template
or splitting each of them into 12 (months) files. Using this second
chance you could use template sal.%y4%m2.grb

hoping it helps ...

bye bye
