Hi Adam,

There is a parameter called LLMXTM, defined in two files: 1) 
$GEMPAK/include/GEMPRM.PRM 2) $GEMPAK/include/gemprm.h

LLMXTM defines the maximum number of times per data set.  You will need to 
increase from 2000 in each file and to process the datasets again.


from gemprm.h (line 353)
#define LLMXTM          (    2000 )     /* Max # times/dataset */

from GEMPRM.PRM (lines 157-158)
        PARAMETER       ( LLMXTM =  2000   )
C!                                              Max # times/dataset

You may also need to adjust LLTMCX if you need more than 300 times per point.
