<DIV>Hi Arlindo,</DIV>
<DIV>I gave it a try - made much more progress this time.Still all values are undefined when I try and do a display. It seems to not be able to find the inventory file. I've included both the gdf and inv files for your review. Both are sitting in c:\grib\hires_input\ along with the gfs grib2 data file</DIV>
