[gradsusr] create control file for grib file

[Bimal Gyawali]

Hello Wesley,

Thank you very much for your email.

I am using linux and the version of perl is v5.8.8. I have used new
grib2ctl.p <http://grib2ctl.pl>l with full path

when I do this:

./grib2ctl.pl  GLDAS_NOAH025_M.A200201.001.grb
>GLDAS_NOAH025_M.A200201.001.grb.ctl

gives following error: Undefined parameter table (center 221-221 table 1),
using NCEP-opn

Still it creates control file. But when I try to open control file the
following error occurs

Open Error:  Can't open Station/Index map file
GLDAS_NOAH025_M.A200201.001.grb.idx  The data file was not opened

I have downloaded data from
http://hydro1.gesdisc.eosdis.nasa.gov/data/GLDAS_V1/GLDAS_NOAH025_M/. and I
did not find GLDAS_NOAH025_M.A200201.001.grb.idx file. Could you please
tell me from where and how I can get the .idx file?

Thank you
