[GEMPAK #YBG-986531]: nsharp bombing out in 5.10.4

David,

Thanks for the additional information. NCEP has been doing more

(using dynamic allocation rather than predefined array lengths).

The data templates will attempt to reference datatype.tbl, but I'll check in to
the behavior when not found, or large lengthe etc.
