[gradsusr] Cannot Locate Endwhile Statement Error

Jennifer,

I am still getting values of 0 in my text file (and on the terminal).
Typing in a 'q dims' command gives LEV=0  Z=1    for the mask and LEV=0
 Z=0  for the GLDAS file. Could the inconsistency be the issue?

There aren't any errors displayed on the terminal. And just to note, taking
out the while statement gives me monthly values on the terminal when the
maskout function is in use, so I assume the issue is within the while
statement.

-Justin
