You have to use ‘q time’ to get the minutes. Furthermore, GrADS will only show the minutes in the ‘q time’ output if it the minute value is something other than 00. </div><div><br></div><div>I created a fake data set with a tdef like this: TDEF 60 linear 1jan2000 10mn</div><div><br></div><div><div>ga-> open foo.ctl</div><div>Scanning description file: foo.ctl</div><div>Data file foo.dat is open as file 1</div><div>LON set to 1 1 </div><div>LAT set to 1 1 </div><div>LEV set to 1 1 </div><div>Time values set: 2000:1:1:0 2000:1:1:0 </div><div>E set to 1 1 </div><div>ga-> q time</div><div>Time = 00Z01JAN2000 to 00Z01JAN2000 Sat to Sat</div><div>ga-> set t 2</div><div>Time values set: 2000:1:1:0 2000:1:1:0 </div><div>ga-> q time </div><div>Time = 00:10Z01JAN2000 to 00:10Z01JAN2000 Sat to Sat</div><div>ga-> set t 6</div><div>Time values set: 2000:1:1:0 2000:1:1:0 </div><div>ga-> q time</div><div>Time = 00:50Z01JAN2000 to 00:50Z01JAN2000 Sat to Sat</div><div>ga-> set t 7</div><div>Time values set: 2000:1:1:1 2000:1:1:1 </div><div>ga-> q time</div><div>Time = 01Z01JAN2000 to 01Z01JAN2000 Sat to Sat</div></div><div><br></div><div>So, when parsing the output from ‘q time’, first thing to do is search for the “Z”, then get the substring of all characters preceding the Z. If the length is 2, then you have only an hour value and you assign minutes to be 00. If the length is 5, then you parse the hour and the minutes value. After the “Z”, it is straightforward to get the day, month, and year. </div><div>—Jennifer</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div><div>On May 22, 2015, at 12:05 PM, Leopoldo Alvarez <<a href="mailto:lap.bolsa@gmail.com">lap.bolsa@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">
