Hi RegCNETers,

I have just completed 3 months(JFM -1998) run over Southern African domain and interested in calculating 3 months averages of atmospheric parameters. I am experiencing problems:- post-processing calculates averages for one month only, i.e., does not calculate for February and March. This is how my postproc.in looks like:

1998010100,     ! idate0 = First date in File (yymmddhh)
1998010100,     ! idate1 = Start date for averaging and re-writing
1998033100,     ! idate2 = End date for averaging and re-writing
2,              ! iotype: 1=I*2 NetCDF; 2=r*4 NetCDF; 3=grads; 4=vis5d
.false.,            ! plv
.false.,        !   
.false.,        ! Write out header?                                      
.false.,        ! Write out all RegCM data b/twn idate1 & idate2?           
.false.,        ! Average RegCM data b/twn idate1 & idate2?                 
.false.,        ! Diurnali avg of RegCM data b/twn idate1 & idate2?         
.true.,         ! Continually average ATM data b/twn idate1 & idate2?       
-1.,            ! No. Days for continual averaging (-1=monthly;1=daily;5=5day)
'199801',       ! postproc output filename (not including type & ext)       
'../Input',     ! ICBC directory                                            
'output',       ! RegCM Output directory                                    
'DOMAIN.INFO',  ! Domain Info Filename (from terrain)                       
'OUT_HEAD',     ! Header File name (from RegCM)                             
'1998010100',   !  1st RegCM Output File Extension

This is the error message I got after running, postproc.x:
