Robert,

The color coding by SFPARM value is not available in grid programs.

However, in GDPLOT2, you can do multiple plots in different colors for
TYPE=P.

For example:
GDFILE   = eta
GLEVEL   = 0
GVCORD   = none
TYPE     = p
GDPFUN   = emsl ! emsl ! emsl ! emsl ! emsl ! emsl
COLORS   = 30 ! 24 ! 21 ! 18 ! 15 ! 11
CINT     = <mailer line wrap here> 
//1024 ! /1024/1028 ! /1028/1032 ! /1032/1036 ! /1036/1040 ! /1040/

Just a suggestion....
