20040809: Gempak - Linux - Continuation lines in a here document in a csh script ...

Kevin,

Csh does not have a syntax for continuing a line from a redirected
input stream. Recall that in csh, the data between <<EOF to the line 
matching EOF is a temporary file that is being redirected to input of 
the command beofre the <<EOF.

I'm assuming there is a reason for not having the entire 
list on a single line in your script.  You could do:

set PARMLIST1='slat;slon;tmpf'
set PARMLIST2='dwpf;p06i;palt;pmsl;uknt;vknt'

then in your program input:
SFPARM = ${PARMLIST1};${PARMLIST2}

Or another solution could be:
echo -n $PARMLIST1 >! infile.nts
echo ";${PARMLIST2}" >> infile.nts

Then, in your sflist sequence, use
restore infile.nts
