Re: [ferret_users] List command problem

Hello,

Yes sorry I was only using the "list" command when I was trying to understand the computation problem. The problem comes from the `ns-(ns/100),prec=0` part, not the LIST command. And indeed I was trying to compute the 99 percentile from a serie of precipitation.

I think the version install on my server is 6.3. I should change it to see if it solves the problem.

But it is still strange to get a "*" as a result of `ns-(ns/100),prec=0` when ns=10. May be a bug from the 6.3 version.

You are not using the LIST command in your example.

What is the content of hsort?

I cannot reproduce your problem:

yes? let aa = {0,10,20,,40,50,60,70,80,90,100}
yes? save/file=test.nc/clobber aa
LISTing to file test.nc
yes? can var/all
yes? use test.nc
yes? sh data
currently SET data sets:
1> ./test.nc (default)
name title I J K L M N
AA {0,10,20,,40,50,60,70,80,90,100 1:11 ... ... ... ... ...

yes? let ns=`aa[i=@ngd]`
!-> DEFINE VARIABLE ns=10
yes? let pctl99 = hval[i=`ns-(ns/100),prec=0`]
!-> DEFINE VARIABLE pctl99 = hval[i=10]

I am using Ferret 6.9.

If needed, you can use the INT() function.
