Dear Praveen,

This seems to be bug in CDO. To check this in detail and to fix this problem we need the input file and the CDO version number (result of CDO -V).
Could you please upload the file shum.mon.mean.nc?

Cheers, Uwe

Thank you for the reply.....in my system currently CDO version 1.6.9 has been installed.
due to large size of file shum.mon.mean.nc, i can't upload it here but the link for the data file is http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/data/gridded/data.ncep.reanalysis.pressure.html.

Thank you once again

Cheers, Praveen

Thanks for the netCDF file! This bug will be fixed in the next CDO release. A prerelease will be available next week.
This problem is caused by an attribute with the value "Infinity":

    shum:actual_range = 0.f, Infinityf ;
A workaround for this problem is to replace the Infinity by a real number. Here is an example to set it to 100:
   ncatted -a actual_range,shum,m,f,'0,100'  file.nc
Cheers, Uwe
