eof arguments

[Dr Sudheer Joseph <sjo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Users,
                    Pasted below is a part  of the ef_eof_demo.jnl which says 
there are 3 arguments to be passed to the external functions, but when we try 
to pass the 3 arguments it results in the error message 
below.
Pease tell me why this is happening , if only 2 arguments are given ( 
varaible, and a number) then it works,  but in this case there is no way to 
know which one it has accepted , as whether it is 2 nd or 3rd
argument.

Thanks,
sincerely
Sudheer.

 LET estat = eof_stat(temp[k=1],2.0,.5)
 **ERROR: command syntax: eof_stat(temp[k=1],2.0,.5)
          The eof_stat function has an incorrect number of arguments

For all functions the arguments are as follows:
!
!   * 1st argument: Input data field, a function of x, y, and time; may be a
!     function of z
!   * 2nd argument: The minimum percent variance explained by the EOF's that
!     are computed and scaled, e.g. to return EOFs that explain at least 2%
!     variance, use 2.0
!   * 3nd argument: The fraction of each time series that must be present to
!     include it in the calculations, e.g. to use all time series that have
!     at least half the data present, use 0.5
!
