&gt;&gt;&gt; I can pass the path used to create the file object together with the [filehandle]<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; to my procedure [but it&#39;s] rather redundant and ugly<br>

<div class="">&gt; (as stated above that NCL assumes users already know this info).<br>
<br>
</div>But that does not address Ploski&#39;s and my objection WRT function/procedure signatures.<br>
<div class=""><br>
&gt; By request, we can certainly create a function which will return the file-path of the file variable.<br>
<br>
</div>Consider my post == 2nd request and Ploski&#39;s post (above) == 6.5-yr-old request. If there is an NCL issue manager (e.g., bugzilla), feel free to pass a link and I&#39;ll put an FR.<br>
