<div>Hi - Thanks for your help. I tried this - see below in bold. It didn't work. Then I q'd the file within grads and tried to use the variable name it listed...got a single value returned.....</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Below is the output I get in grads and attached is the output I get when I do an NCdump - I can't even tell if there are any index values in there or not - I am starting to think not! Maybe the issue is with the CDO operator (?)<br>

<div>Hi,</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I guess it's because the variable name is too long. I suggest you do "q file" and whatever variable name it returns you display it.</div>

<div>Hope this will help</div>

<div>Hi, I am a beginning user of GRADS and would really appreciate some help. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I took a model run and performed an operation using CDO that gave me the number of consecutive dry days for each grid box for the time period selected. I then open this in GRADS. When I try to view the results on a map GRADS keeps giving me an error that indicates index is not a variable name. I tried to open the file in XCONV to modify the variable name - but XCONV won't open the file. As a beginning user my skill set to solve these problems is quite limited. Does anyone know what I should do?</div>
