[ncl-talk] error using yyyymmdd_to_yyyyfrac() NCL 6.1.2

[Erik Jan Schaffernicht]

Running NCL 6.1.2:

I am using these functions:
eof_ts()  runs successful on a climate model output.
Then I take
timeRec= cd_calendar(eof_ts&time,2)
and
printVarSummary(timeRec) gives me:
     Variable: timeRec
     Type: double
     Total Size: 292192 bytes
                 36524 values
     Number of Dimensions: 1
     Dimensions and sizes:    [36524]
     Coordinates:
     Number Of Attributes: 1
       calendar :    proleptic_gregorian

Then I like to plot the time series (~36500 days = ~100years) so I like 
to convert the time from YYYYMMDD to YYYY.fraction
yearFrac= yyyymmdd_to_yyyyfrac(timeRec,0.)

This last step causes these errors:   Any idea/help/solution?

[... many more of these illegal calendar  errors lines, I did not copy 
all due to redundancy ...]
day_of_year: illegal calendar = 'proleptic_gregorian'
day_of_year: illegal calendar = 'proleptic_gregorian'
day_of_year: illegal calendar = 'proleptic_gregorian'
day_of_year: illegal calendar = 'proleptic_gregorian'
day_of_year: illegal calendar = 'proleptic_gregorian'
isleapyear: illegal calendar = 'proleptic_gregorian'
fatal:Undefined identifier: (con) is undefined, can't continue

A few minutes before I used   yyyymm_to_yyyyfrac( )   on a similar file 
that is monthly averaged.  There, using the yyyymm_to_...(), this 
function does not cause any error.
