<div>Thanks, Jennifer! I am not familiar with xdfopen.</div>
<div>Could you give me samples of xdfopen control and gs files, so that I can copy and paste?</div>

<div>Dear Grads users,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>When I use sdfopen on my Mac OS X laptop:</div>
<div>sdfopen uwnd.1979.nc uwnd.%y4.nc 10958</div>
</div>
</blockquote>
<div>This syntax was deprecated with GrADS 2.0. Unfortunately, I never updated the documentation to indicate this change. If you want to template netcdf files, you have to use xdfopen or open.</div>

<div>It only read data in uwnd.1979.nc, but not the data in uwnd.1980.nc and after, with errors like:</div>
<div>
<div> set t 627</div>
<div>Time values set: 1980:9:18:0 1980:9:18:0 </div>
<div> d uwnd</div>
<div>Data Request Warning: Request is completely outside file limits</div>
<div> Entire grid contents are set to missing data</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It worked on other computers, but not on mac (but I have only mac now).</div>

You did not specify, but you must be using a very old verison of GrADS on those other computers… </div>
