- Subject: 19990127: time range missing in gdplot

Steve,
The root of the problem is the number of grid times in the file (341).
GEMPAK has 2 array sizes defined in $GEMPAKHOME/include/gemprm.xxx,
LLMXTM (maximum number of times in a file, default 200) and
LLMXGT (maximum number of grid times, default 1000). My interpretation
of those variables says you should be allowd to exceed 200 times in
your file, however, the routine gr_tlst has LLMXTM as the array
size rather than LLMXGT. So, the problem is really that the number of
times exceeds the array sizes and they are getting stomped on.
The complete fix will be to find all usage of the number of times and make
them agree.
Here is a quick fix for the immediate problem at hand.
edit $GEMPAKHOME/src/gemlib/gr/grtlst.f
--> change timlst(LLMXTM) to timlst(LLMXGT)
CHARACTER*20 timlst (LLMXGT), timout*40
--> for consitency, set LLMXGT in GDGTIM call...its not used in that
--> subroutine however...go figure!
C* Get list of times in data file.
C
CALL GD_GTIM ( igdfln, LLMXGT, timlst, ntimin, ier )
Now rebuild the subroutine:
cd $GEMPAKHOME/src/gemlib/gr/
make clean
make
make clean
....Now here is why gdplot is a little different in its screw up than
the other programs you were using...it makes the tgfind call directly.
Edit $GEMPAKHOME/src/programs/gd/gdplot/gdbtim.f
--> change LLMXTM to LLMXGT in these instances
CHARACTER*36 time, timlst (LLMXGT), tstrt, tstop, ttt, timout
and
CALL GD_GTIM ( iflno, LLMXGT, timlst, ntimin, ier )
and rebuild all the gd programs
cd $GEMPAKHOME/src/programs/gd
make clean
make all
make install
make clean
This quick fix will work for the internal gr_tlst and tg_find calls since
even though you have 341 timies in your file, when you plot
gdattim=f00031-f12031-01200, you are only asking for 11 times in the
range, so you are no where near exceeding the 200 time maximum in
other locations at this time. The bombing out right now is simply because
if can't get all the times from the file to search for your range.
As I said, the complete fix will be to ensure all sizes are in agreement
so that if you ask for a range of greater than 200 times, then
things will behave properly (of course you will hit the frame
limit in looping in gdplot at 32 or so frames).
Let me know if this works for you, or other problems still exist.
