error: lonflip: longitude dimension size must be even

Dear all,
I am new to ncl and trying to play around with some scripts before I
proceed with my analysis.

My main objective is to do eof analysis on some data. I have been trying to
modify the script (http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/eof.shtml) for
eof_1.ncl <http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/Scripts/eof_1.ncl> to my
choice of analysis. However on running the script I receive the error
massage (* lonflip: longitude dimension size must be even: mlon=209*). I
have played with different longitude dimensions to be even without success.
My search led me to this *(
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Support/talk_archives/2011/2387.html)* which did
not help solving my problem.
Is there a way to set lon size so that when you print out the dimensions it
is even?

*NCDUMP of my data looks like*

My modified script is attached.
