[GEMPAK #OEF-521024]: problem plotting the radar_mosaic_nathr

Hi Greg,

Sorry that I misinterpreted what you were asking.

The few GEMPAK scripts that I have seen use the "brute force" approach you
allude to.  This doesn't mean that there is a simpler, more elegant way
of including date information in output disk file names, however.  Given
the number of folks out there that have LOTS of GEMPAK scripts, I am sure
that one of they would let you know via 'gembud' if there was an easy way
to do what you want.

> Thanks,

No worries.

Cheers,

Tom
