Hi Charley,
Might the # of distinct grid date/times (GDATTIM's) have changed
(increased) in your individual grid files when the problem started? As
best as I can tell, when nmap2 reads in a GEMPAK gridded d data file,
it loads all the individual GDATTIM's into a string variable called
"moslst". This character is limited to 1024 characters. For a typical
NCEP model grid file, each distinct time, plus the separating semicolon,
is 16 characters, thus 64 distinct GDATTIM's would fit. Given that, I
wouldn't expect this to be the problem in your case, unless you are
perhaps combining each day's model runs into one file.
I ran into the above problem when trying to create spf files for the
national grid mosaic, which I store in daily files. I ended up
recompiling GEMPAK with moslst increased to 16384 characters in
$NAWIPS/gempak/source/programs/gui/nmap2/nmap_sfpw.c to deal with that
issue.
Hope maybe this helps . . .
Kevin

NMap will allow me to select these sources manually. It even lets me
save out to a new spf file. When I go to restore that file, I get the
same message shown below.
