[Ncep.list.emc.glopara-support] stopping fcst2 step

[Kate Howard]

  Actually...here is an example of such an if-statement for anyone 
interested.

The following initially sets fseg to 2 (two forecast segments) and then 
the following if-statement constrains the forecast to one segment when 
not running a 00z cycle:

fseg=2
   if [ $cycn -ne 00 ]; then fseg=1; fi         # for hurricane track, 
only 120-hr fcst is required
   if [ $cycn -ne 00 ]; then fmax1=126; fi

The 2nd if-statement gives an example of constraining the first segment 
to 126hrs.
