Hi People (Jeff, Saulo, T., others),
<br />
<br />T., please, could you check your .ctl file for the dset line?
<br />In the q file command, the output for the line:
<br />
<br />binary: E:/blablabla
<br />
<br />should be the name of the binary file (that is, the grib 1 file: fnl_20081112_18_00_c), not the .idx name file.
<br />
<br />The .idx has to be created with the gribmap command, outside the GrADS and before running GrADS:
<br />
<br />gribmap -i filename.ctl
<br />
<br />This command will CREATE an index file. The name of this index file is set in your .ctl file, as follow in the example below:
<br />
<br />dset fnl_20081112_18_00_c
<br />index anyname.idx
<br />title Test
<br />etc ...
<br />
<br />After getting this anyname.idx index file, you can open the .ctl file in GrADS and dysplay any variable.
<br />
<br />T., how did you get your .ctl file for this FNL grib file?
<br />
<br />Ricardo

<strong>Dear Jeff, </strong>
<br />>
<br />> The problem is this
that I can open the .ctl file but I cannot display any variable inside the q
file list ( command "d variable").
<br />>
<br />> <strong>Dear
Saulo,</strong>
<br />>
<br />> I renamed the control file as same name as
.idx, but the problem was not solved. I got these errors :
<br />> GRIB I/O
error: Bit map I/O
<br />> display error: invalid expression
<br />>
<br />> Don't you think; it is related to converting process from fnl type to a
control file and an idx file?
<br />>
<br />> <strong>Dear
manu,</strong>
<br />>
<br />> Of course I did as like you said, but it
didn't work.
