[ferret_users] Problem in listing dates into ascii format

[neethu chacko <neethuchacko@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 I have to get an ascii file in the following format. 

DD  MM  YY  Variable 1   Variable 2   Variable 3 ......


The script i used is :
define symbol fname=R2900765
set da "../data/argo/($fname).nc"

set var/bad=-999 temp
set var/bad=-999 salt

sp rm argo1.dat
repeat/l=1:20:1 (list/file=argo1.dat/clobber/nohead/append/format=("`TAX_DAY(T[gt=TEMP],TEMP)`",2x,"`TAX_MONTH(T[gt=TEMP],TEMP)`",2x,"`TAX_YEAR(T[gt=TEMP],TEMP)`",4f10.3) lat[gx=temp],lon[gy=temp],TEMP[k=1],salt[k=1])

The output  am getting is :
28  9  2006    15.031    89.101    28.711    33.780
3  10  2006    15.015    89.202    28.774    33.532

1  1  2007    14.441    88.174    27.508    32.791
....................................................................................

But the dates are wrong as my data is having 5 days resolution.The actual dates are:


yes? sh grid/t temp

 Please help me solve the problem. 
Or is there any other way to get the correct date in DD MM YY  variable1 varable2 etc.format? I need to get the temp, salt variables in 3 decimal points too. 

Thank you..
