Re: how to add a Times variable

Hi Steve,

This question may be more appropriate for wrfhelp@ucar.edu, whom I've CC'ed here.

The Times variable has a format like:

2003-12-01_00:00:00

so you might be able to do something like:

Times = "2013-05-20_16:00:00"
Times!0 = "DateStrLen"
f->Times = tochar(Times)

Where "f" is the file id opened with "addfile".

My problem, apparently, is that no Times variable is created in this conversion and I need one in order for a WRF post-processing code, "wrfpost" (the latest version is called unipost), to succeed.
