Hi Eric,

You may try explicitly defining the range of times you want processed, such as:

GDATTIM = 550401/0000F000-580201/0000F000

One thing to keep in mind if you used DCGRIB2 to decode the ds010.1 grib1 files 
to GEMPAK format, you will not see grids which have the date/time specified 
using the 0th day of the month, such as 51010012, which would be January 1952, 
day 0, 12z

DCGRIB2 will not recognize this as a valid day and so will not decode those 
grids. I'm looking into an update to DCGRIB2 in order to handle the 0th day of 
the month, but if you have any flexibility to edit the 0th day to the 1st of 
the month, that would solve this problem.

Best,

Michael James
