How to get the exact data type from a known file? "new "function problem

Hi,Every one
    I'd like to creat a file namelist in my directory, but I don't know what
the type of the file name namelist, I have tried 'character','string',
' byte',
all of them don't work. I got the error message like:
fatal:Assignment type mismatch, right hand side can't be coerced to type of
left hand side
fatal:Execute: Error occurred at or near line 26 in file ght.time.ncl

I want to use the type attribute from file_list1, I think they are the same,
how can I do that?
    Thanks.

Script:

load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_code.ncl"
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_csm.ncl"
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/contributed.ncl"
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/shea_util.ncl"
begin
   file_home ="./"
   file_list1 = systemfunc("cd " + file_home+ " ; ls ta_A6.*nc ;")
   print(file_list1)
   file_list2 = systemfunc("cd " + file_home+ " ; ls hus_A6.*nc ;")
   print(file_list2)
   nfiles = dimsizes(file_list1)
   year = new(nfiles,integer)
   year
=(/1984,1985,1986,1987,1988,1989,1990,1991,1992,1993,1994,2060,2061,2062,2063,2064,2065,2066,2067,2068,2069/)

   file_list3 =new(nfiles,byte)
   nf = nfiles-1
   do fil = 0, nf ; files numbers !from 1985
   a =addfile(file_home+file_list1(fil),"r")
   b =addfile(file_home+file_list2(fil),"r")
   file_list3(fil) ="ght_A6."+year+"010100-"+year+"123123.nc"
   print(file_list3(fil))
   end do
   end
