Hello,

Even though I have used, LDM for nearly 10 years, there is something
that I am trying to do and can't seem to find how to do it if possible.
The problem is that files like the NCEP frontal position product (ASUS01
KWBC) usually come in more than an hour after data time. For example,
the 06Z positions usually arrive during the 07Z hour. As a result, my
pqact.conf entry that looks like this:

DDPLUS  ^ASUS01 .... ([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9])
        FILE            /mdata/ddplus/(\1:yy)(\1:mm)\1\2.frt

would store a file with today's header, "ASUS01 KWBC 170713" as file,
"03061707.frt". I'd like it to be stored as "03061706.frt", i.e. with a
filename based on it's valid time (e.g. VALID 061706Z) rather than it's
transmission time. With the WXP ingest on NOAAPORT, this is very easy to
do by specifying a %3h value for the hour. In this case anything
received between 06 and 09Z is stored in an 06Z time stamped file.

I know that there must be a way to do a similar thing with LDM and an
open to suggestions.

Thanks.

Jim
