Thank you Hoffman,
But below is a paste from the example given in the same link, if it is
given in this way will it take as 4 inputs ? I am some what new to
ncl,
I tried this way too and I made sure that data is read to the ncl work
space correctly and the code breaks exactly at bpass.
Sudheer

  lonL = 0. ; GM ; =60 Indian Ocean
  lonR = 360. ; ; =280 East Pacific

  srate = 1 ; daily means
 bpf = (/20,100,201/) ; MJO ... suggested by MJO WG [WMO]
  wgty = *latRegWgt*
<http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Contributed/latRegWgt.shtml>(x&lat,
"double", 0)
  opt = False
                            ; pass in area of interest
  bpass = *band_pass_latlon_time* (x(:,{latS:latN},{lonL:lonR} \
                                ,srate, bpf, wgty({latS:latN}), opt)

  *printVarSummary*

bpass )
