Re: [ferret_users] Title label variable help

[Selina Satterfield <satterfields2000@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Ansley, 

I will probably have to just do the switch in my C++
code since I can't use third party tools other than
ferret. 
I have successfully re-created all the headers for
COMMA and TAB formats. Is there any way to align all
of this information. I tried passing the value for
STRLEN in to the format command, but it ended up
cutting off the header.

Here is what my out put looks like:
         VARIABLE : Average Gradient Deg. C/100 Km
             DATA SET : SST 100KM GLOBAL
           FILENAME : MY_Descriptor.des
             FILEPATH : /HTML/www/product/1
                        BAD FLAG : 999.9
               TIME : 16-MAY-2005 00:00 to 17-MAY-2005
00:00
 
I would like to have the first letter in each line to
line up like this:

     VARIABLE : Average Gradient Deg. C/100 Km
     DATA SET : SST 100KM GLOBAL
     FILENAME : MY_Descriptor.des
     FILEPATH : /HTML/VisUser/www/product/1
     BAD FLAG : 999.9
     TIME : 16-MAY-2005 00:00 to 17-MAY-2005 00:00

list/file=temp.txt/nohead/format=(A50)/APPEND ut1
list/file=temp.txt/nohead/format=(A40)/APPEND dt1 
list/file=temp.txt/nohead/format=(A40)/APPEND fn1 
list/file=temp.txt/nohead/format=(A70)/APPEND fp1
list/file=temp.txt/nohead/format=(A40)/APPEND bf1

Also is there anyway to set the precision. For example
I would like BAD FLAG to be set to 999.9000

I tried adding the precision option however it didn't
change.
list/PRECISION=8/file=temp.txt/nohead/format=(A40)/APPEND
bf1


Thanks again.
