[ncl-talk] Syntax and Statement Error

[Dennis Shea]

Whenever you encounter:

===================
fatal:syntax error: line 142 in file wrf_gsn_5.ncl before or near \n
end
---^

fatal:error in statement
fatal:syntax error: line -1 before or near
===================

it means a block is not properly terminated.

In this case there is a 'do loop' but no 'end do'

 do it = 0,ntimes-1,2             ; TIME LOOP

 end do     ; end 'it' loop

I would also suggest replacing

wks = gsn_open_wks("ps","wrf_gsn")

with

wks = gsn_open_wks("ps","wrf_gsn_"+sprinti("%0.2i", it))
