Frank,

If you are storing a whoe days worth of data in a file named YYYYMMDD_rsas.gem,
you will have top create a $GEMTBL/config/datatype.tbl entry for RSAS as
RSAS         $MODEL/ruc                YYYYMMDD_rsas.gem.....etc.... 
SCAT_ANL.....

This assumes that your files are under $MODEL/ruc

In Garp_defaults, the modelkey RSAS will use the datatype.tbl template.
You want to avoid trying to use the old Garp type of string name matching
where you can only have 1 grid directory and name convention.

The problem with naming daily files using HH is that they are assumed
to only have 1 hours worth of data in them.
