[Met_help] [rt.rap.ucar.edu #54969] History for MET v3.1 pcp_combine issue

  Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Met Help,

I may have stumbled on another bug in the current v3.1.
In pcp_combine within v3.0.1, I have no problems with the valid times of the forecast data when doing a subtraction between different forecast GRIB files (e.g. 48 hours minus 24 hours).
.
.
.
                APCP_24:init_time = "20111001_060000" ;
                APCP_24:init_time_ut = 1317448800 ;
                APCP_24:valid_time = "20111003_060000" ;
                APCP_24:valid_time_ut = 1317621600 ;
.
.
.

However, in v3.1, the times are assigned to Jan 1, 1970 (when doing an ncdump -h on the resulting netcdf file)
.
.
.
                APCP_24:init_time = "19700101_000000" ;
                APCP_24:init_time_ut = 0 ;
                APCP_24:valid_time = "19700101_000000" ;
                APCP_24:valid_time_ut = 0 ;
.
.
.

Please let me know if you find anything.
Thanks!
Jonathan

Jon,

Yes, that's an issue we're working on.  I'm hoping to have a fix
