Re: [ferret_users] generate a constant array

[mick spillane <mick.spillane@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi David,
   I think the following will work:

let NYR=280
let ytemp=X[I=1:`NYR+100`:100]   ! this has the right number of elements 
and only the last is wrong ...
let years=if(i[g=ytemp] lt ytemp[i=@ngd])then ytemp else `NYR+1`  ! ... 
so fix the last value.

If NYR=280 this gives 1,101,201,281 as desired but check the following

NYR=300 ---> 1,101,201,301
NYR=301 ---> 1,101,201,301,302

to see if that is what you need.
