[GEMPAK #OXS-251954]: Problem opening certain models in nmap2



Your entry in $GEMTBL/config/datatype.tbl specifies forecast grids while your 
files contain both forecast and analysis grids. These analysis grids contain no 
forecast time (such as F000), so gempak libraries are unable to add them to the 
selection window.  You'll need to rename the 0hr analysis grids using the 
GDATTIM format of YYYYMMDD/HHMMFfff.  

This problem has brought an NMAP2 bug to my attention (not populating the 
selection window with forecast grids that *are* available simply because 0hr 
grids are interpreted as analysis grids).  The GD programs don't deal with this 
selection window which is why you didn't run into any problems.  Modifying your 
grid date/time format to include the 0hr forecast time is the quick solution.
