addfile question

Dear NCL Users:

When I use addfile on a particular grib file, ie, f=addfile(test.grb,"r"),
I receive the following error message:

fatal:Premature end-of-file, file appears to be truncated

I realize this is a problem with the file. However, is there an easy
method to check for this error so my script
will not crash. I would like to be able to skip such files. I have tried
the following, but have been
unsuccessful;

if (any(f.eq."fatal")) then
    print("file truncated, skip to next file")
end if

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Matt
