Shawn, GDSTAT will use a time range, so you just specify the start and end times as GDATTIM = start-stop That assumes you don't have other times in your file that are not intended in that range. If you have times included in your data set that you don't want included, then you should create a new grid file using GDCFIL with CPYFIL being your old file, and then copy the times you do want to include in your new file using GDMOD. GDSTAT can open at most 3 input files. If you have more than 3 input files (eg 10 different files from your question below), then you will need to use GDMOD to copy the desired times into common files.
