Hi Sohail,

> with FY2G are not even listing when i tried fir IMGLIST command.

How did you define the ADDE dataset for your FY2G images?  The easiest
way to answer this is to either send the DSSERVE command you ran, or
do a

DSSERVE LIST group

where:

group - the ADDE group name you specified when running DSSERVE to create
        the dataset definition

re: >

McIDAS understands images that are in AREA file format.

re:

> the files they look me almost same. :(

Which files did you check?  I looked at the contents of the AREA3000
file you attached, and it is in GVAR format.  When I looked at
FY2G_2015_08_06_03_00_E_PJ8, I could see that it is _not_ in AREA
format, and I couldn't tell exactly what format it is in.

re:
> I have attached both the files if you kindly can figure out the issue.

I can use (IMGLIST, IMGDISP, etc.) the AREA files you sent.  My procedure
was:

<as 'mcidas'>
cd workdata
mkdir FY2G
-- extract the AREA files you sent to the /home/mcidas/workdata/FY2G directory

DSSERVE ADD SOHAIL/AREA AREA DIRFILE=/home/mcidas/workdata/FY2G/AREA3* "AREA 
FILES FROM SOHAIL

Group/Descriptor         Type  Format & Range     RT Comment
------------------------ ----- ------------------ -- --------------------
SOHAIL/AREA              IMAGE AREA                  AREA FILES FROM SOHAIL
                               DIRFILE=/home/mcidas/workdata/FY2G/AREA3*
DSSERVE: done
 
IMGLIST SOHAIL/AREA.ALL
Image file directory listing for:SOHAIL/AREA
 Pos Satellite/         Date       Time      Center   Band(s)
     sensor                                 Lat  Lon
 --- -------------  ------------  --------  ---- ---- ------------
   1  G-13 IMG      19 SEP 17262  01:15:00    14   72 4
   2  G-13 IMG      19 SEP 17262  03:15:00    14   72 4
IMGLIST: done

Since I don't know what format the FY2G_2015* files are in, I don't
have enough information to create an ADDE dataset for them.  Also, it
is entirely possible that your FY2G files are in a format that
McIDAS does not understand.

Cheers,

Tom
