Re: How do I mask out to the missing value flag?
Actually Lev, you almost had the right answer - just missed it by a little.
I am assuming that this is part of .jnl file you are calling (hence the $1 in
the first line).
So, what you want is simply:
let $2 = IF hdk[d=hdKMS] GT (-20.) THEN $1
the variable, $2, will automatically take on a bad value anytime the IF test
fails - you don't have to explicitely assign a bad value.
