[ncl-talk] About local time (UTC+9)

[isakhar sakhar isakhar]

Dear Mr.Dave

I am very for asking a lot, I have tried my best but I still face the error
even I already have the line
'/usr/share/ncarg/nclscripts/contrib/cd_string.ncl' on my top script. I
still use NCL version 6.1.2.

I face error say:

cd_string: The variable containing time values must have a 'units'
attribute.
fatal:Illegal right-hand side type for assignment
fatal:["Execute.c":8128]:Execute: Error occurred at or near line 33 in file
script.ncl

My script file in attachment.
Thanks

regards,
Soares
