Re: Too Many Files ?

Dear Helen

Are these netcdf files you are reading? If it is that questions was
answered over the list just one or two days ago:
I quote:

You need to use the following incantation in your script prior to
opening any files:

setfileoption("nc","SuppressClose",False)

See http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/
setfileoption.shtml

Hope this helps,
Andrea
