Hi Fred,
I just got some time to start looking into the GRDDISP PARAM=MOVIE issue you
raised...

OK, thanks for the information.

I unfortunately found out that the ADDE server instance we have setup to serve
fields in GRIB/GRIB2 format is screwed-up -- I don't access model data in
McIDAS-X
much, so this may have been going on for quite some time, and I will have to
attend to it soon.
But, our setup for decoding and serving GRIB messages into McIDAS GRID format
is working OK. Given this, I should be able to investigate if there is or is
not a problem with GRDDISP on 64-bit systems.

Here is what I did:
DATALOC ADD RTGRIDS ADDE.UCAR.EDU
DSINFO G RTGRIDS
Dataset Names of Type: GRID in Group: RTGRIDS
Name NumPos Content
------------ ------ --------------------------------------
ALL 1310 Real-Time Grids
ECMWF 10 Real-Time ECMWF Grids
GFS 300 Real-Time GFS/AVN Grids
MDR 10 Real-Time MDR Grids
MISC 10 Other Real-Time Grids
NAM 120 Real-Time ETA Grids
NGM 40 Real-Time NGM Grids
RUC 80 Real-Time RUC Grids
UKMT 110 Real-Time UK Met Grids
DSINFO -- done
GRDDISP RTGRIDS/NAM PAR=STREAML LEV=10
...
GRDDISP RTGRIDS/NAM PAR=MOVIE LEV=10
...
I have attached FRMSAVE captures from both GRDDISP commands to this reply:
grddisp_streaml_2014251_00z.gif <-> GRDDISP RTGRIBS/NAM PAR=STREAML LEV=10
grddisp_movie_2014251_00z.gif <-> GRDDISP RTGRIDS/NAM PAR=MOVIE LEV=10
I interpret the displays to indicate that there seems to be no problem
with running GRDDISP in my CentOS 6.4 x86_64 environment:
/home/mcidas% uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.32-431.23.3.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Jul 31
17:20:51 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
/home/mcidas% file ~mcidas/bin/grddisp.k
bin/grddisp.k: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically
linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, not stripped
Now the question is if there is a problem with the GRIB server in your
64-bit environment (since you indicated that the data is all local).
Can you send me more specific information on how you setup your NAM dataset?
The output from:
DSSERVE LIST NAM
should suffice.
Cheers,
Tom
