[gradsusr] grads-2.0.2-13.fc23.x86_64 and gadsdf: Error parsing time units in SDF file.

[Jeff Chabot]

Hello gradsusr Digest,

I am running into an issue with grads in fedora 23 using the sdfopen
command.  The same command works in fedora 21.  I am running grads in batch
mode.

I am seeing the following error only in Fedora 23, "Error parsing time
units in SDF file", but using the exact same link "
http://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov:9090/dods/nam/nam20160606/nam_12z" in the gards
version under Fedora 21 opens the file and works.

Here are versions:

Fedora 23: grads-2.0.2-13.fc23.x86_64
Fedora 21: grads-2.0.2-8.fc21.x86_64

Here is the output difference between Fedora 23 and Fedora 21:

Fedora 23:

I'm looking to move to a more updated version of Fedora, but I need to get
this working first.  Is it a problem with the grads version in Fedora 23?
Anyone else seeing this issue?  Anyone know a workaround?

Thanks,

Jeff
