Dear all,

I am very new to CDO and I hope my question is not too stupid.

I have RCM data file (RCM.nc) that I want to regrid onto an existing file (infile.nc).

I saved the grid information with griddes:
cdo griddes infile.nc > grid

1. grid #

1. gridID 0 #
   #gridtype = generic
   #gridsize = 4331
   #xname = x
   #xlongname = Cartesian x-coordinate
   #xunits = meters
   #yname = y
   #longname = Cartesian y-coordinate
   #yunits = meters
   #xsize = 71
   #size = 61
   #xfirst = -550000
   #xinc = 5000
   #yfirst = -3e+06
   #yinc = 5000

Now I want to remap, but it doesn't recognize the 'generic' gridtype:
cdo -v gencon,grid RCM.nv weights.nc
cdo -v remap,grid,weights.nc RCM.nc RCM_regridded.nc

1. output
   #cdo griddes: Processed 11 variables. ( 0.01s )
   #cdo gencon: Extrapolation disabled!
   #Warning (gridFromFile) : Invalid grid name : generic

#cdo gencon (Abort): Invalid grid description file grid!
#cdo remap: Extrapolation disabled!
#Warning (gridFromFile) : Invalid grid name : generic

#cdo remap (Abort): Invalid grid description file grid!

About the sofware: I am using CDO 1.4.0.1 on a unix server.

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help!
