[Met_help] PointStatConfig syntax error

[Ann L Mazuk]

Here are my settings in PointStatConfig:

mask_grid[] = ["FULL"]
mask_poly[] = [];
mask_sid = "";

and I have also tried:

mask_grid[] = ["FULL"]
mask_poly = "";
mask_sid = "";

Either way, I get that error message I first reported.

Ann,

You should be able to set:
mask_poly[] = [];

Let me know if that doesn't work.  Do keep in mind that you need to choose 
at least one masking region over which to accumulate statistics.  So that 
means, you need to select at least one thing in
"mask_grid", "mask_poly", or "mask_sid".  If you'd like to verify over the 
whole domain, set:
mask_grid[] = ["FULL"];

Regarding the config file GUI, it's still pretty new, and we just haven't 
gotten around to putting a link on the MET website yet.  But we'll put it 
up there.  Thanks for the reminder!

Just let us know if you continue to have problems setting the masking 
region.  And be sure that you're using the version of the config files 
distributed with METv2.0.  The config files are not
backward compatible.

Thanks,
John
