Dear Ricardo and Jeniffer,<BR> <BR>I have fnl file with the name of fnl_20081112_00_00_c, I run the gribmap and in the command line I wrote:<BR> <BR>gribmap -i fnl_20081112_00_00_c.ctl<BR> <BR>but the command window was closed after this command. I also repeated it with -v but the window was closed again.<BR> <BR>Regards,<BR> <BR>T.<br> <BR><div><br><br>> Message: 1<br>> Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2013 10:14:12 -0500<br>> From: Jennifer Adams <jma@cola.iges.org><br>> Subject: Re: [gradsusr] problem in displaying variables<br>> To: GrADS Users Forum <gradsusr@gradsusr.org><br>> Message-ID: <8ACD0120-7A65-47B1-89BA-AE0820B73DE9@cola.iges.org><br>> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"<br>> <br>> Run gribmap with the verbose option (-v) and that should tell you if records are matching or not. --Jennifer<br>> <br>> On Feb 28, 2013, at 9:53 AM, Ricardo Hallak wrote:<br>> <br>> > Ok, T., <br>> > <br>> > you will have to download the FNL GRIB 1 file again. Don't do any conversion with it. The FNL files can be directly seen in GrADS.

I am in doubt, maybe I have to do it again. I have a question; the source fnl file has a size of 23 MB, but after converting it to a ctl and an idx file, each of them has a size of just seven kb, is it correct a
nd acceptable? I think maybe the converting process has not been done correctly. <br>> > > <br>> > > Regards, <br>> > > <br>> > > T. <br>> > > <br>> > > > <br>> > > > 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.
