Gustavo, I see 7 stations from Argentina at 1200 UTC today (20110824), with 8 stations defined in $GEMTBL/stns/snworld.tbl STID = SASA STNM = 87047 TIME = 110824/1200 STID = SARE STNM = 87155 TIME = 110824/1200 STID = SACO STNM = 87344 TIME = 110824/1200 STID = SAME STNM = 87418 TIME = 110824/1200 STID = SAEZ STNM = 87576 TIME = 110824/1200 STID = SAZR STNM = 87623 TIME = 110824/1200 STID = SAVC STNM = 87860 TIME = 110824/1200 What are you seeing with SNFILE = ... 20110824_upa.gem AREA = AG DATTIM = all SNPARM = tmpc STNDEX = LEVELS = all VCOORD = pres OUTPUT = f/arg.txt MRGDAT = no GEMPAK-SNLIST>r GEMPAK-SNLIST>e grep STID arg.txt | grep SA The SNLIST program will dump the contents to a file 'arg.txt', which is then grepped for STID's beginning with 'SA' for Argentina. About 'file could not be opened', in the past I've seen this happen when more than one instance of dcuair is running, typically from an accidental second pattern action. Check your ~ldm/data/gempak/logs/dcuair.log file for multiple process IDs and reply back with any error message or anything odd-looking. If we can't figure this out soon we should see about granting me remote access to your system so I can check it personally.
