Andre,<div>Were you correctly editing the TDEF line of the control file before running gribmap on it? I've used <a href="http://grib2ctl.pl">grib2ctl.pl</a> before (not sure if that's the g2ctl you're referring to) and it never maintained the templating in the control files. I always had to manually edit the DSET and TDEF entires to get the proper templating before running gribmap.</div>

<br>I seem to have solved my problem but since I have run into it numerous times with different data, it would appear that the g2ctl has a bug in the code somewhere when it is dealing with templates.<br><br>-Andre<br><br>

Andre,<br><br> Nobody knows what the names of the files that you are trying to template nor do they<br>know the contents of the files except that they are GFS forecasts. If you were to make<br>the files available on FTP, someone might investigate. Without details, nobody can solve<br>

I tried to use g2ctl on gfs forecasts and analysis using a templating option. This did not work as expected for unknown reason. The latest error is similar to the first. Here is what I type:<br>
<br>g2ctl gfs_4_20111216_0000_%f3.grb2 > forecast.ctl<br>gribmap -i forecast.ctl<br><br>but it only reads the first and last time period which are a day apart when I really want all the 6 hr forecasts. I cannot seem to correct this. Attempts to change the template result in errors such as adding %h2, %m2, %d2. This is really driving me nuts and holding back my work. Someone please shed light on this.<span><font color="#888888"><br clear="all">
