Re: time

Setareh,

You need to read the documentation on a function before you post your questions to ncl-talk. Many questions you've had could be answered by doing some research:

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Contributed/yyyymm_time.shtml

The argument is telling you that the first argument's type is wrong. If you read the documentation, you will see that the first argument is supposed to be an integer.

My guess is that "year" is a float or a double. It needs to be an integer:

  firstyr = toint(year(0))
   lastyr = toint(year(ntim-1))
