too many open files

Hello list, I am trying to construct an object in memory from (~2000) files using addfiles(). I have read the documentation about avoiding excess open filehandles by using the "SuppressClose" fileoption but have not found an example explicitly showing usage.   The code snippet below still fails with "too many open files" errors: fls = systemfunc ("ls " + ipath + iname + "*.nc")                                        f   = addfiles (fls, "r")                                                                ListSetType (f, "cat") ;; concatenate (default)                                          setfileoption(f, "SuppressClose", False) ;; avoid excess open files                      tmax    = f[:]->tmaxscr(3:239:4,{lats(0):lats(1)},{lons(0):lons(1)})                     tmin    = f[:]->tminscr(3:239:4,{lats(0):lats(1)},{lons(0):lons(1)}) Can anyone advise on this? Thanks, Ramon
