DSET
data_filename
back
to top
This entry specifies the filename of the data file being described. If the data and the descriptor file are not in the same
directory, then
data_filename
must include a full path. If a ^ character is placed in front of
data_filename
,
then
data_filename
is assumed to be relative to the path of the descriptor file. If you are using the ^ character in the DSET
entry, then the descriptor file and the data file may be moved to a new directory without changing any entries in the data
descriptor file, provided their relative paths remain the same. For example:
If the data descriptor file is:
/data/wx/grads/sa.ctl
and the binary data file is:
/data/wx/grads/sa.dat
then the data file name in the data descriptor file can be:
DSET ^sa.dat
