        i tred to merge the two netcdf files which are of same dimensions but with different time axis, using MAKE_DES. This is showing the error message
        ncdump: NetCDF: Variable not found. when i use the descriptive file, it showing the error message. **TMAP ERR: Error in namelist record
             Error in: STEPFILE_RECORD 1
             Data set: ./test2.des
Data sets are as follows:
   yes? sh da
     currently SET data sets:
    1> ./soda_temp_58_01.nc
