Eric, This probably means that the file is full. I have been making updates to the $GEMTBL/grid/gribkey.tbl file for mamimum number of grids in a file. If you use gdinfo, you will see how many grids and the limit for the file. Here are the ETA sizes I am currently using (are you still just using the ETA from CONDUIT?) center sub modelid grid Output grid file name max_grids ! !
