[GEMPAK #RUX-727661]: Ability of GEMPAK to dump/list data files in ASCII format

Massoud,

It would be helpful to know if you have generated any messages to
your dcgrib2_NAM211.log file as to why you are not finding your 211 NAM data.

A simple pqact pattern for NAM211 would be:

HDS   <tab>   ^[YZ].Q... KWBE
<tab>  PIPE  <tab> decoders/dcgrib2 -d data/gempak/logs/dcgrib2_GFS.log
<tab> -e GEMTBL=/home/gempak/GEMPAK5.10.2/gempak/tables


The "Q" character denotes #211, and KWBE is the disseminator for the NAM.

As for listing data as ascii, I provide a program GDCSV that will output a 
function 
result as comma separated values of grid point, lat/lon and data value for the 
grid points 
involved. Alternatively, GDLIST can be used to output data to a text file.
Set OUTPUT=F/filename to direct the output to a file.
