20021117: have problem...need help

Kevin,

The format of the datatype.tbl file is column dependent.
Your entries for WTCH and WARN have moved the template
column due to the length of your file path, so the
programs are not correctly accessing your datatype.tbl entries.

If you could use the $GEMDATA environmental variable
to represent your $METDAT/gempak directory (which you
could set in Gemenviron), then you would be able to use 
the entries as I provide in our distribution- eg:
WTCH         $GEMDATA/storm/wtch       YYYYMMDDHH_wtch.gem etc...

Otherwise, if you are using GEMDATA for something else, then set a 
different environmental variable (GEMSTORM for example) in
your Gemenviron, and use that to represent $METDAT/gempak/storm.

Also, when sending support questions, make sure they go to 
address@hidden, otherwise they can get burried.

Steve Chiswell
