Hi John,
     I don't have any dataset with longitude 0 to 360. Otherwise, I would 
reproduce your problem locally and get better understand of the issue. 
     One option is to call the Formula > Grid > Define a grid diagnostic, and 
type lonFlip(a). This lonFlip can flip longitudes in a grid from 0 - 360 to 
-180-180 if the grid is in cyclic rectilinear grids.

     Let us know if this can help.
