Hi Eric,

When this message occurs after the first iteration, does the script end (or 
hang)?  I would have to take a look at your script and your initial grid file 
to find out more.

You can upload these files to the GEMPAK section of the RAMADDA data repository:

> 
> I am using GDDIAG in three steps to make new grids.  I'm using GDDIAG three 
> times in a row because the calculations I need to make are too long for GFUNC 
> to handle in one line.  The first iteration of GDDIAG makes a new grid that 
> the second iteration of GDDIAG uses, and so on with the third iteration.  I 
> wrote a C shell script to loop through several years I want to process.
> When the first iteration completes, I get the message:
> WARNING:  ST_NULL - Output string too small; input string truncated!
> What does this message mean? I only get this message when running the script. 
> If I run through the 3 iterations manually, no errors occur and the grids are 
> made properly.

> If the error message does not shed light on the problem, I can send you the 
> script.
> Thanks for your help.
