Hi Kwan,

The NEXRCOMP dataset is setup to only hold a set of the most recent
96 NEXRAD Level III images.  If the 96 images span more than one day
(this happens for a number of hours after 0 UTC), then IMGLIST can
list more than one day.

If, you are really wanting to do this for the NEXRCALL dataset, then
the answer would be no since the organization of this "archive" dataset
is by day, so only one day can be accessed (e.g., listed) in a single
IMGLIST invocation.

Cheers,

Tom
