Hi all,

I tried to run ioapi command latlon to create one file with lat and long.  
My GRIDDESC includes below information  
’ ’  
‘LAM\_40N\_97W’  
2 33.000 45.000 -97.000 -97.000 40.000  
’ ’  
‘12US1’  
‘LAM\_40N\_97W’ -2556000.000 -1728000.000 12000.000 12000.000 459 299 1  
’ ’  
There is an error:

```
 "BDYFILE" opened as UNKNOWN(R-W)
 File name "BDYFILE"
 File type BNDARY3
 Execution ID "????????????????"
 Grid name "12US1"
 Dimensions: 299 rows, 459 cols, 1 lays, 4 vbles, 1 cells thick
 NetCDF ID: 131072 opened as READWRITE
 Time-independent data.

```

0ERROR PJ04Z0  
POINT CANNOT BE PROJECTED  
Failure: status 9 in GTPZ0 at K= 765

```
 *** ERROR ABORT in subroutine MODGCTP/XY2XY1D2
 LATLON::GRID1 coord-transform error(s)

```

When I reduced the grid numbers, no error, so it may be due to too large domain?  
Could anyone help me about this error?

Thanks in advance.

299x459 is not that big a grid – I’ve worked with grids of about 2500x3500 with no trouble.

Which version of “latlon” ? (See the program’s splash-screen). The current version is

> `$Id: latlon.f90 199 2021-05-07 17:20:03Z coats $`
