<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Hi Jim,<br>
<br>
I tried the changes that you suggested and unfortunately I still have the same problem. I also tried just entering the actual date instead of trying to set a command to create the current date, didn't work.<br>
<br>
Adding the " " around !date +%Y%m%d seemed to help and so did doing just one ">" but, when I tried changing >> to >!, I kept getting this error message "date: extra operand `/home/muaddib/grads/date/date.formatted' Try `date --help` for more information" and
then it goes back to the usual "No Files Open No files open" message.<br>
<br>
Could you elaborate a little bit more about the .bashrc approach? In my bash script, I'm defining the date variable as "YMD=`date +%Y%m%d` to pull .grib2 data via wget and then convert it through g2ctl and gribmap. I wouldn't think that would affect GrADS,
right?<br>
<br>
Here's the part in the bash script where I'm running GrADS:<br>
<br>
<b>GRADS=/usr/local/lib/grads/./grads<br>
PATH3=/grads/scripts/gem/25km/12/<br>
FHR0=000<br>
HOMEDIR=/home/muaddib<br>
<br>
${GRADS} -clb "run ${HOMEDIR}${PATH3}500GPH_${FHR0}.gs"</b><br>

I think the problem is with the "date" command. You can test this with<br>
specifying the date (replace the top lines with a constant date). If this<br>
is indeed the case, some suggestions:<br>
<br>
1. Try with double quotes around the arguments to date, e.g.,<br>
<br>
'!date +"%Y%m%d" >> /home/muaddib/grads/date/date.formatted'<br>
<br>
I think you want a date like 20131226, but with single quotes around<br>
the argument I think you'll get something like "Ymd".<br>
<br>
2. Is it possible you have two different "date" commands? It could<br>
be running in batch mode is using a different path that when you are<br>
running interactively (e.g., you have a .bashrc or .cshrc that is not<br>
accessed in batch mode).<br>
<br>
3. The >> syntax will append the output to file date.formatted,<br>
but your script is always accessing the second line of this file:<br>
sysdate = sublin(d,2)<br>
Not sure why you have this. Have you tried >! to overwrite the<br>
file, then read the first line?<br>

<div>You've probably got a 'q time' command in your script before you open any files, or after you open a file with some error. But without knowing what script you're running on startup, it's impossible to help any further.

Good Morning All,<br>
<br>
Currently, I'm having an issue where "No Files Open" pops up every time that I run GrADS in Batch Mode (grads -clb).<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
<br>
This results in the Valid Forecast Time not being displayed on my plots. At first, I thought that it was an issue of the 'set t 1' placement after 'reinit', as I'm using g2ctl/gribmap ctl files.<br>
<br>
I've sort of narrowed this down to just a batch mode problem because, when I open the .gs file with 'grads -l' , "No Files Open" does not pop up and the Valid Forecast Time shows up on the plot.<br>
<br>
Has anybody else had this issue before?<br>
