Anh Dao, The version of GEMPAK you are using is now quite old, and several GEMPAK changed to grid fdata have occured, so your best bet may be to upgrade your GEMPAK software. The current distribution of GEMPAK can do calculations on grids of differing projections so interpolation may not be necessary. Otherwise, the GEMPAK library was substantially rewritten and GDBIINT was modernized too, so the problem you see may be a bug introduced in the older version when the underlying library was changing.
