Dawran,

Please give us more information on what you are trying to achieve.

To read in a GrADS binary dataset, select the CTL (Data Descriptor File) in the 
file chooser. Please specify the file format of "GrADS Binary Grid Files" in 
the Data Choosers tab.

If you are still having trouble please upload the .dat/.ctl pair to 
http://motherlode.ucar.edu/repository/alias/idvupload and let us know when it 
is there.

Best Wishes,

Unidata IDV Support
