[gradsusr] Is it possible to use an earlier assigned variable to define a new variable within the grads script?

[Davide Sacchetti]

using "run" or not is equivalent, the difference is that using "run"
grads takes into account upper or lower case in the script name
(without "run" lower case only is considered)

Modify the script as follow and it should work:

function main(args)
ctl.1=subwrd(args,1)
ctl.2=subwrd(args,2)
ctl.3=subwrd(args,3)
ctl.4=subwrd(args,4)
ctl.5=subwrd(args,5)

model1=1
model2=5
while(model1<=model2)
'open 'ctl.model1
do some computation here
close 1
model1=model1+1
endwhile

Bye bye
Davide
